Thanks for reporting. "git help tag" says
<tagname>
The name of the tag to create, delete, or describe.
The new tag name must pass all checks defined by
git-check-ref-format(1). Some of these checks may
restrict the characters allowed in a tag name.
and 'man 1 git check-ref-format' says
4. They cannot have ASCII control characters (i.e. bytes whose
values are lower than \040, or \177 DEL), space, tilde ~,
caret ^, or colon : anywhere.
Any ideas for improving the wording in Documentation/git-tag.txt?
E.g., should it have a note in the DESCRIPTION section, or should it
use the word "valid" to make searching within the file easier?
Thanks,
Jonathan
