Subject: [PATCH] Add git_tag_create_frombuffer API
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Expose the tag parsing capabilities already present in the
library.

Exporting this function makes it possible to implement the
mktag command without duplicating this functionality.
