Feature request: Ability to edit existing tag's message

From: Eyal Rozenberg <hidden>

At the moment, one has to go through some hoops to edit a tag's message;
see discussions here:

It would be nice if:

    git tag --edit my_tag_name

would bring up the editor with the existing text of my_tag_name's
message, for amendment. And, perhaps,

    git tag --edit my_tag_name -m "new message"

would overwrite the existing message. I've suggested `--edit` since the
switch already exists, but if you like a different bikeshed then it
could be --amend like git commit --amend.


Just my 2 cents and have a nice day,
Eyal Rozenberg
