First of all: nice work! I like that you've made a tool for helping people tagging and releasing stuff.
When I downloaded the code, I couldn't help but notice that the are lots of dependencies for this:

I'm not saying that's wrong, but it seemed like a lot of dependencies for such a small utility. According to go list there are 136 dependencies in the cmd directory (where the magic happens):
$ go list -f '{{len .Deps}}' ./cmd
136
So I've wondered if it wouldn't be possible to remove some dependencies, and I've identified that you are using github.com/gogits/git for all Git related operations but pushing the tag, and I went ahead and did a quick hack to remove that dependency and rely on executing git with os/exec: I've managed to remove the dependency and now go list shows 128 transitive dependencies, not much, but something.
If you are interested I can send a pull request to this repository.

Again, thanks for making this tool.
