Amend the wording of documentation added in 6cfec03680 (mktag:
minimally update the description., 2007-06-10). It makes more sense to
say "when it exists" here, as we're referring to "the message".

NAME
|
|
----
|
|
git-mktag - Creates a tag object
|
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
[verse]
|
|
'git mktag'
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
Reads a tag contents on standard input and creates a tag object
|
|
that can also be used to sign other objects.
|
|
|
|
The output is the new tag's <object> identifier.
|
|
|
|
Tag Format
|
|
----------
|
|
A tag signature file, to be fed to this command's standard input,
|
|
has a very simple fixed format: four lines of
|
|
|
|
object <hash>
|
|
type <typename>
|
|
tag <tagname>
|
|
tagger <tagger>
|
|
|
|
followed by some 'optional' free-form message (some tags created
|
|
by older Git may not have `tagger` line). The message, when it
|
|
exists, is separated by a blank line from the header. The
|
|
message part may contain a signature that Git itself doesn't
|
|
care about, but that can be verified with gpg.
