If a tag is not annotated, git tag displays the commit message
instead. Add this hint to the manpage to unhide this secret.

This functions similarly to "git branch --contains"; it will show all
tags that contain the specified commit, by sharing the same logic.
The patch also adds documentation and tests for the new option.

After looking the git-tag manpage, someone on #git wondered how
to tag a commit that is not a branch head. This patch changes
the synopsis to say "<commit> | <object>" instead of "<head>" to
address his question.
Samuel Bronson had the idea of putting "<commit> | <object>"
for "<object>" because most tags point to commits (and for the
rest of the manpage, all tags point to commits).

The names of git commands are not meant to be entered at the
commandline; they are just names. So we render them in italics,
as is usual for command names in manpages.
Using
doit () {
perl -e 'for (<>) { s/\`(git-[^\`.]*)\`/'\''\1'\''/g; print }'
}
for i in git*.txt config.txt diff*.txt blame*.txt fetch*.txt i18n.txt \
merge*.txt pretty*.txt pull*.txt rev*.txt urls*.txt
do
doit <"$i" >"$i+" && mv "$i+" "$i"
done
git diff
.

Following what appears to be the predominant style, format
names of commands and commandlines both as `teletype text`.
While we're at it, add articles ("a" and "the") in some
places, italicize the name of the command in the manual page
synopsis line, and add a comma or two where it seems appropriate.

Since the git-* commands are not installed in $(bindir), using
"git-command <parameters>" in examples in the documentation is
not a good idea. On the other hand, it is nice to be able to
refer to each command using one hyphenated word. (There is no
escaping it, anyway: man page names cannot have spaces in them.)
This patch retains the dash in naming an operation, command,
program, process, or action. Complete command lines that can
be entered at a shell (i.e., without options omitted) are
made to use the dashless form.
The changes consist only of replacing some spaces with hyphens
and vice versa. After a "s/ /-/g", the unpatched and patched
versions are identical.

With the dashed forms of git commands not in $(bindir), we have
to change many instances of "git-command" to "git command". Also,
for consistency it is at times appropriate to make the opposite
change. In some cases, the change is not so simple as changing one
character.
This patch gets rid of some of those cases by rewrapping lines.

When an argument for an option is optional, like in -n from git-tag,
puting a space between the option and the argument is interpreted
as a missing argument for the option plus an isolated argument.
Documentation now reflects the need to write the parameter following
the option -n, as in "git tag -nARG", for instance.

This default regex now matches explicit values, and unfortunately in this
case gitlink was being matched by just 'link', causing the wrong inline
macro template to be applied. By renaming the macro, we can avoid being
matched by the wrong regex.

This replaces the script "git-tag.sh" with "builtin-tag.c".
The existing test suite for "git tag" guarantees the compatibility
with the features provided by the script version.
There are some minor changes in the behaviour of "git tag" here:
"git tag -v" now can get more than one tag to verify, like "git tag -d" does,
"git tag" with no arguments prints all tags, more like "git branch" does,
and "git tag -n" also prints all tags with annotations (without needing -l).
Tests and documentation were also updated to reflect these changes.
The program is currently calling the script "git verify-tag" for verify.
This can be changed porting it to C and calling its functions directly
from builtin-tag.c.

The <pattern> for -l is now a shell pattern, not a list of grep parameters.
Option -l may be repeated with another <pattern>.
The new -n [<num>] option specifies how many lines from
the annotation are to be printed.
Not specifieing -n or -n 0 will just produce the tag names
Just -n or -n 1 will show the first line of the annotation on
the tag line.
Other valuse for -n will show that number of lines from the annotation.
The exit code used to indicate if any tag was found.
This is changed due to a different implementation.
A good way to test a tag for existence is to use:
git show-ref --quiet --verify refs/tags/$TAGNAME

I did this:
$ git tag -s test-sign
gpg: skipped "Andy Parkins <andyparkins@gmail.com>": secret key not available
gpg: signing failed: secret key not available
failed to sign the tag with GPG.
The problem is that I have used the comment field in my key's UID
definition.
$ gpg --list-keys andy
pub 1024D/4F712F6D 2003-08-14
uid Andy Parkins (Google) <andyparkins@gmail.com>
So when git-tag looks for "Andy Parkins <andyparkins@gmail.com>";
obviously it's not going to be found.
There shouldn't be a requirement that I use the same form of my name in
my git repository and my gpg key - I might want to be formal (Andrew) in
my gpg key and informal (Andy) in the repository. Further I might have
multiple keys in my keyring, and might want to use one that doesn't
match up with the address I use in commit messages.
This patch adds a configuration entry "user.signingkey" which, if
present, will be passed to the "-u" switch for gpg, allowing the tag
signing key to be overridden. If the entry is not present, the fallback
is the original method, which means existing behaviour will continue
untouched.

The current "git tag -s" thing always uses the tagger name as the signing
user key, which is very irritating, since my key is under my email
address, but the tagger key obviously contains the actual machine name
too.
Now, I could just use "GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL" and force it to be my real
email, but I actually think that it's nice to see which machine I use for
my work.
So rather than force my tagger ID to have to match the gpg key name, just
support the "-u" flag to "git tag" instead. It implicitly enables signing,
since it doesn't make any sense without it. Thus:
git tag -u <gpg-key-name> <tag-name> [<tagged-object>]
will use the named gpg key for signing.

As promised, this is the "big tool rename" patch. The primary differences
since 0.99.6 are:
(1) git-*-script are no more. The commands installed do not
have any such suffix so users do not have to remember if
something is implemented as a shell script or not.
(2) Many command names with 'cache' in them are renamed with
'index' if that is what they mean.
There are backward compatibility symblic links so that you and
Porcelains can keep using the old names, but the backward
compatibility support is expected to be removed in the near
future.
