above it, only the signature below. Since I want git to actually understand the tags, but do _not_ want git to have to know about whatever

just removing the top lines, and re-inserting them when verifying, or whether there is some mode to make gpg not do the header crud at all, I don't know. Which is exactly why I never even got started.

Linus,

A script that knows how to validate signed tags, can easly strip off all the signing overhead for display. Users of scripts that don't understand will see the cruft, but at least it will still be usable.
