I do not care too strongly about this, but I need to point out that
this will have fallout to tools and scripts.  E.g. if you have this
configured and try to create a new tag in gitk, wouldn't this part

	if {$msg != {}} {
	    exec git tag -a -m $msg $tag $id
	} else {
	    exec git tag $tag $id
	}

try to open an editor somehow to get the message even when $msg is
an empty string?  I think the same problem already exists for the
tag.forceSignAnnotated variable we already have added, though.
