Annotated Tag Hooks?

Annotated Tag Hooks?

[Moss, Adam David]

Hello,

Is there any way to use, or are there any plans to introduce, an
equivalent of the `prepare-commit-msg`, `commit-msg`, and
`post-commit` hooks but for `git tag` events?

I would like to make use of `git interpet-trailers` to automate the
inclusion of some additional information into the tag annotation in
the same way we do with commit messages, but am struggling to come up
with a nice solution at the moment.

If there is a better approach I could use I'd welcome suggestions?
Alternatively I'd be willing to help implement such a capability if
anyone would be willing to mentor me through it?

Thanks,


Adam M.

Without speaking for anyone else, I think such a feature would be
beneficial and I'd be happy to see it come in.  I'm not personally able
to mentor you on this, because I have limited time to work on Git, but
perhaps someone else on the list would come along and be happy to walk
you through it.

I _would_ be fine with being put on a CC for the patches to provide a
review, however.

Ditto for both ;-).
