5 * A signature file has a very simple fixed format: three lines
6 * of "object <sha1>" + "type <typename>" + "tag <tagname>",
7 * followed by some free-form signature that git itself doesn't
8 * care about, but that can be verified with gpg or similar.
10 * The first three lines are guaranteed to be at least 63 bytes:
11 * "object <sha1>\n" is 48 bytes, "type tag\n" at 9 bytes is the
12 * shortest possible type-line, and "tag .\n" at 6 bytes is the
13 * shortest single-character-tag line.
15 * We also artificially limit the size of the full object to 8kB.
16 * Just because I'm a lazy bastard, and if you can't fit a signature
17 * in that size, you're doing something wrong.
21 #define MAXSIZE (8192)
24 * We refuse to tag something we can't verify. Just because.
