Hmm, it looks like this already hit 'next', so it is too late to change the commit message (although 'next' will get rewound after the release, so we _could_ do it then).

I also was going to suggest these style fixes, which could be applied on top (or squashed if we end up going that route). I actually wonder if the final tag one could just use two invocations of "git tag -m", but it's probably not worth spending too much time on polishing.

Subject: [PATCH] t5500: prettify non-commit tag tests

We don't need to use backslash continuation, as the "&&" already provides continuation (and happily soaks up empty lines between commands).

We can also expand the multi-line printf into a here-document, which lets us use line breaks more naturally (and avoids another continuation that required us to break the natural indentation).
