Sure:

mkdir gitTagBug cd gitTagBug

git init foo cd foo echo A >> foo.txt git add foo.txt git commit -m "Created foo" GRAFT_PARENT=`git rev-parse master` echo B >> foo.txt git commit -am "Added B" cd ..

git init bar cd bar echo A >> foo.txt echo C >> foo.txt git add foo.txt git commit -m "Added C" GRAFT_CHILD=`git rev-parse master` git tag -am "Tagging foo C" tagFoo $GRAFT_CHILD cd ..

cd foo git fetch ../bar refs/tags/tagFoo:refs/tags/tagFoo echo "$GRAFT_CHILD $GRAFT_PARENT" >> .git/info/grafts git filter-branch --tag-name-filter cat tagFoo cd ..

# Purposely use a file URL to prune any unreferenced objects git clone file:///`pwd`/foo newFoo

My output from the clone:

   Cloning into newFoo...
   remote: Counting objects: 9, done.
   remote: Compressing objects: 100% (3/3), done.
   remote: Total 9 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0)
   Receiving objects: 100% (9/9), done.
   error: refs/tags/tagFoo does not point to a valid object!

Thanks, Stephen
