Also, why is it a question? git: tag does not contain a tag user: WTF? Perhaps, "The annotated tag, %s, does not contain a message", or similar? Also - is this really something that should be complained about? I'm wondering why it is important that tag objects contain a message? For example, tagging a release as v1.0.0 - it's important to record who tagged it, and when it was tagged, but I can certainly envisage there not being a message to go with it. Most tags in the git repository are just a repeat of the tag name in the message. Andy -- Dr Andy Parkins, M Eng (hons), MIET andyparkins@gmail.com
