Subject: [PATCH] git-tag(1): we tag HEAD by default
Date: Wed, 3 Apr 2013 16:27:14 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <137ebfa428b16497287c55e552372df1087f1588.1364999181.git.trast@inf.ethz.ch> (raw)
The <commit>|<object> argument is actually not explained anywhere
(except implicitly in the description of an unannotated tag). Write a
little explanation, in particular to cover the default.
Signed-off-by: Thomas Rast <trast@inf.ethz.ch>

Prompted by a question on IRC about the default value. Do we actually
read our own docs? ;-)
