Say you pull some changes from your head of group, find a strange commit you want to look at later and tag it with "what-is-this-crap"... More seriously, tags are not part of the "remotes layout", so when you push them and others pull them they overwrite their tags if there's a name clash. > heavily scripted page of my free private repo webhoster :-) and > don't see any tags, even though i've pushed multiple times and > v0.0.0 was created directly after the first commit.

That could be easily adapted to call out to "openssl smime", or put your S/MIME signatures in a note. Cheers Michael
