The creation of this PR is motivated by the lack of tagging support (it is possible to sign a linked commit) and the overly complicated data that is signed.
It is suggested to use object ID (commit ID or tag object ID) instead of HEAD commit ID as the git note object ID.
It is also proposed to use object ID as the data to be signed. In this case, verification is simplified and the user does not need to use a utility for verification (the user can implement the verification with whatever, wherever and however he wants).
These changes break compatibility with previous versions and the version must be changed.
