thought this might help:
"Annotated tags, however, are stored as full objects in the Git
database. They’re checksummed; contain the tagger name, e-mail, and
date; have a tagging message; and can be signed and verified with GNU
Privacy Guard (GPG). It’s generally recommended that you create
annotated tags so you can have all this information; but if you want a
temporary tag or for some reason don’t want to keep the other
information, lightweight tags are available too."

git tag -a creates annotated tag
