# This script applies tags that have become detached from a rebased branch, assuming
# that the original message for each tag has been unchanged in the rebased branch.
# This is necessary because tags get bound to a commit hash and a rebase will alter
# the commit hashes on a branch, "detaching" any tags that have been attached. It is
# of course debatable whether tags _should_ be moved around at all, but I needed to
# do this for a particular repo I have been working on. It has also been a good
# opportunity for me to explore git and some command line tools. It is not meant to
# be a reference script and there will almost certainly be much more effective ways
