Hello,
I was just poking around and noticed this:
  $ git cat-file -p v1.5.0
  object 437b1b20df4b356c9342dac8d38849f24ef44f27
  type commit
  tag v1.5.0

Is it really the case that you tagged v1.5.0 at midnight UTC exactly; and that you travelled from your normal -0800 timezone to +0000? None of the other tags show this strange output.

  $ git cat-file -p v1.5.0.2
  object 0d9b9ab1284ce125fd49cf7dbf4d28e0540cf035
  type commit
  tag v1.5.0.2
  tagger Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net> Mon Feb 26 00:26:21 2007 -0800
This looks much more normal.

Is the v1.5.0 tag object showing a bug? (The other possibility being that you did some clever messing to make it appear at exactly that moment)
