Hmm. Would these "many" tools still allow arbigrary configuration
set to affect their operation? It sounds like a bigger issue but it
is a separate one.

This paragraph is well written.

This sentence lacks a verb. Perhaps s/not allowed/is &/.
But more importantly, I think we should justify why this "not
allowed" makes sense as the design of the feature. A plausible
alternative design would simply follow the "last one wins" paradigm,
where
git tag -u key # "-u key" implies "-s"
git tag -u key --no-sign # "--no-sign' trumps the implied "-s"
git tag --no-sign -u key # "-u key"'s implication of "-s" trumps the
# earlier "--no-sign"
and having "[tag] gpgsign" simply adds to the implication early in
the chain to be overridden by later command line options.
Let's explain why "you cannot give -u <key> and --no-sign at the
same time" is better than "the last one wins".

If we justify "-u and --no-sign do not mix", that design needs to be
explained to the end users in the documentation, not just in the
proposed log messsage.
