Subject: Make "git tag" more user-friendly
X-Git-Tag: v0.99~11
X-Git-Url: https://git.tokkee.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=918c05f1b653d24a03d5b29c576894ede63a6787;p=git.git

Make "git tag" more user-friendly

Instead of having to cut-and-paste the result, write it to the tag
directory directly.  Also, start an editor for the tag message, rather
than just reading it from stdin.
