Not necessarily a strong argument against, but I could maybe see a user only wanting to perform some followup operation if a tag is _actually_ created. For example push the newly created tag: git tag T O && git push --tags To me atleast, the feedback of knowing whether tag was created seems a bit more interesting. I also don't feel super strongly though. -Justin
