However, because we're apparently quite loose about this in\nthe clone/fetch code this does give you the tag if it exists, but\nprobably not in the way you expect.\n\nWe interpret the argument as a branch, and will get not only this tag\nbut \"follow\" (see --no-tags in git-fetch(1)) the tag as though it were a\nbranch and give you all tags leading up to that one. This would give you\na single tag:\n\n git clone --no-tags --branch v2.19.0 --single-branch https://github.com/git/git.git\n\nBut this is a more direct way to do it:\n\n git init git; git -C git fetch --no-tags https://github.com/git/git.git tag v2.19.0\n\nWhich'll since you said it failed that's because you haven't pushed the\ntag. Try 'git ls-remote ' to see if it's there (it's not).\n"}]}
