3536When asking to 'abort'  (which is the default), this program will die
3637when encountering a signed tag.  With 'strip' , the tags will silently
3738be made unsigned, with 'warn-strip'  they will be made unsigned but a
3839warning will be displayed, with 'verbatim' , they will be silently
3940exported and with 'warn-verbatim'  (or 'warn' , a deprecated synonym),
40- they will be exported, but you will see a warning.
41+ they will be exported, but you will see a warning.  'verbatim'  and
42+ 'warn-verbatim'  should only be used if you know that no transformation
43+ affecting tags or any commit in their history will be performed by you
44+ or by fast-export or fast-import, or if you do not care that the
45+ resulting tag will have an invalid signature.
