postreceive-hook should update plugin information without tag

[j-ulrich]

Currently, it is necessary to create a new version of a plugin to change any of the plugin information in the repository. To me, this seems to be a bit excessive if you just want to change, e.g., the link to the demo or the author's email address.

Couldn't the postreceive-hook check all commits and in case it sees a change to the manifest file, update the plugin information (without adding a new version)?

No. The tag is the canonical data source. If you need to change something, release a new version.
