Hi,

Currently there is no way you can get the commits your tags are pointing to by using git tag. The only way i found is to use rev-parse (which is by the way not supported by the bash_completion)

It seems reasonable to have upper level command like:
$ git tag -r
to output

v0.1 8794hke84f9e8h9ef9eh949793... v0.2 jhkd934398e9f499f47w9789o97...

$ git tag -n -r

v0.1 "super message" 8794hke84f9e8h9ef9eh949793... v0.2 "another message" jhkd934398e9f499f47w9789o9f...

$ git tag -r v0.2 v0.2 jhkd934398e9f499f47w9789o9f...

What do you think?

Thanks, Eugene
