Reposting (without even saying so) doesn't necessarily increase your chance of getting responses. Would would help:

- saying you're talking about gitk/git view/whatever it is you're
"clicking" on
- providing a minimal example others can reproduce. That would be one
where a tag on a detached head (assuming that's what you mean) has no
precedes/follow but a tag "on a branch" does have that info

Cheers, Michael
