> "copy for tag 0.4" is plain wrong for git. The message should be more like "Version X.Y.Z tagged by m-rel-p" or something to that effect.
> Perhaps configurable, or maybe even prompt for it, or pull it from a defined file. This is what I do in my GNU-Make-maven-release-clone such that I can enter a meaningful description of what is in the release, as part of the tag object. I open a new temp file with vim and use the saved file as the tag message. Maven could optionally prompt for it just as it does for the versions itself.
> In git these are known as annotated tags, and are something that SVN simply does not have. The plugin is already using annotated tags, it's just that the annotation itself is poor.
