Hi,

I personally like the idea of git-evtags, but I feel that they could be made so that push certificates (and being hash-algorithm agnostic) should provide the same functionality with less code.

To me, a git evtag is basically a signed tag + a data structure similar to a push certificate embedded in it. I wonder if, with the current tooling in git, this could be done as a custom command...

Cheers! -Santiago.
