I just want to point out that this patch is not exclusively about signed
tags.

The patch is about retaining annotated tags rather than demoting them to
light-weight tag references as is done currently for _all_ annotated tags,
signed and unsigned. When rewriting signed tags, the signature is stripped
so that we don't write a tag with a bogus signature.
