Expose tag description through environment variables
I am using Appveyor to automatically deploy a NuGet package when
I tag my branch with new version tag in GitHub. I would love to
have access to the tag's description, but don't see a way to do
that currently. APPVEYOR_REPO_COMMIT_MESSAGE and
APPVEYOR_REPO_COMMIT_MESSAGE_EXTENDED use the commit
message and description of the latest commit, but no information
from the actual tag itself. If it's exposed through Git, perhaps a
BRANCH_DESCRIPTION or TAG_DESCRIPTION
variable would be useful here?

Sorry if I wasn't clear - I'm looking for the information entered on GitHub when creating a new "release" (tag). Specifically, I'm looking for the description being entered, though the title would be handy, too.
I'm not very familiar with the differences between Git and GitHub, so I'm not sure if this is a GitHub-specific thing. If it is, it may be a lot harder to get access to, which would be unfortunate but understandable.

Interesting. Will take a look if it's something that could be pulled with API.
