Similar to git commit, it would be nice to have a --no-edit option for git tag. Use case is when I force-recreate a tag:

$ git tag -af 1.0 123abc

An editor will be prompted with the previous annotated tag message. I would like to add --no-edit to instruct it to use any previously provided message and without prompting the editor:

$ git tag --no-edit -af 1.0 123abc
