filter-branch: use hash-object instead of mktag
This allows us to recreate even historical tags which would now be consider invalid, such as v2.6.12-rc2..v2.6.13-rc3 in the Linux kernel source tree which lack the `tagger` header. $ git rev-parse v2.6.12-rc2 9e734775f7c22d2f89943ad6c745571f1930105f $ git cat-file tag v2.6.12-rc2 | git mktag error: char76: could not find "tagger " fatal: invalid tag signature file $ git cat-file tag v2.6.12-rc2 | git hash-object -t tag -w --stdin 9e734775f7c22d2f89943ad6c745571f1930105f Signed-off-by: Ian Campbell <ijc@hellion.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
