Hanging forever while tagging the release if git is configured to sign tags about semantic-release

[sheerlox]

My bad, this belongs to semantic-release, could someone who has the right to please transfer this issue there?

Adding "-m", tagName, to the git tag options in lib/git.js fixed the issue.

The hanging seems to come from the git tag command.

could you describe this behavior in a bit more detail and maybe what caused you to notice it? i've never noticed this sort of problem and dont recall anyone else reporting previously. is this when running locally, or within your ci pipeline?

I finally identified the root of the issue after you pointed out in #3064 the difference between lightweight and annotated tags.

I have tag.gpgsign set in my .gitconfig, and the git tag documentation states:

If one of -a, -s, or -u is passed, the command creates a tag object, and requires a tag message. Unless -m or -F is given, an editor is started for the user to type in the tag message.

I've tried adding --no-sign to the command in semantic-release, and it solved the issue. I'm updating the original issue description to add more detailed information as well as some initial thoughts on various approaches to solving this.
