Support for annotated release tags with Git

[jhelwig]

It would be very nice if Jeweler optionally supported creating annotated Git tags (even better if they were signed, too). The current light-weight tags aren't used by git describe, without the --tags, or --all flags.

The Git gem doesn't currently support this, but if/when it does then having a config option for specifying that you want to create annotated/signed tags would be nice.

Interesting idea. Are you thinking just to annotate with something like the version, optionally with some additional text?

[jhelwig]

Pretty much. The automated tools that I've used in the past which have done this have typically put "Tagging version #{version}", or just "#{version}" as the tag's message.

Old, but sounds like a nice feature to have regardless.
