+ * The following example partially reimplements the `git tag` command
+ * and some of its options.
+ *
+ * These commands should work:
+
+ * - Tag name listing (`tag`)
+ * - Filtered tag listing with messages (`tag -n3 -l "v0.1*"`)
+ * - Lightweight tag creation (`tag test v0.18.0`)
+ * - Tag creation (`tag -a -m "Test message" test v0.18.0`)
+ * - Tag deletion (`tag -d test`)
+ *
+ * The command line parsing logic is simplified and doesn't handle
+ * all of the use cases.
