embarrassed to admit i had no idea that you could tag non-commit
objects, only realized that when i was reading the man page and saw:
SYNOPSIS
git tag [-a | -s | -u <keyid>] [-f] [-m <msg> | -F <file>] [-e]
<tagname> [<commit> | <object>]
^^^^^^^^
so i tried it and, sure enough, i could tag a blob object. but if you
read further into DESCRIPTION, about halfway through, you read:
"Otherwise just a tag reference for the SHA-1 object name of the
commit object is created (i.e. a lightweight tag)."
^^^^^^
which suggests only commit objects. finally, much further down, under
OPTIONS:
"<commit>, <object>
The object that the new tag will refer to, usually a commit.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
so to clean this up, is it sufficient to just change that middle line
to say "object" rather than "commit object"? or is there more in the
man page that needs tweaking?
