Sorry, I am not sure what you mean by that. It is unclear what two
worlds you are referring to.

That is not a good comparison. 55ca3f99 (commit-tree: add and
document --no-gpg-sign, 2013-12-13) is about signed commit, and over
there there are only two choices, i.e. a commit that corresponds to
an annotated tag, and a signed commit that corresponds to a signed
tag. There is no "lightweight-tag" equivalent.

Good.
If so, then the configuration is "when the user gives us a message
to create a tag without explicitly saying -a/-s, we create an
annotated tag by default, but create a signed tag instead in such a
case", I would think. That is:
$ git tag -m 'foo' $tagname
would create signed tag under such a configuration option, and I
think such an option may make sense. And the way to override it
would be
$ git tag -a -m 'foo' $tagname
So there is no need for --no-sign option. When the user explicitly
asks to create an annotated tag with
$ git tag -a -m 'foo' $tagname
it is unreasonable to override that explicit wish with a
configuration setting.
