For folks that want to start versioning a new tag-space, instead of cloning one that someone else has already started.
The empty-blob hash-object call avoids errors like: $ nmbug commit error: invalid object 100644 e69de29bb2d1d6434b8b29ae775ad8c2e48c5391 for 'tags/...' fatal: git-write-tree: error building trees 'git HASH(0x9ef3eb8) write-tree' exited with nonzero value David Bremner suggested [1]: $ git hash-object -w /dev/null instead of my Python version of: $ git hash-object -w --stdin <&- but I expect that closing stdin is more portable than the /dev/null path (which doesn't exist on Windows, for example).
