Here is a script to simplify validating the gpg signature created by
git-tag-script. Might be useful to add to the git tree so that people
don't have to search for the right post in the git mailinglist archives
when they want to validate a tag.

cat .tmp-vtag | sed '/-----BEGIN PGP/Q' | gpg --verify .tmp-vtag -
