Subject: How to create tags outside of refs/tags?
Message-ID: <AANLkTimxAhMfPsqEJVyteuTzXLr+QnhcxpJLgaE=y12_@mail.gmail.com>

I would like to create a tag which full name is not starting with
refs/tags. Is that possible with 'git tag'? If not, is there any
other command to create such tags?

I would like to create such tags to mark released states of my sources
which should never be garbage collected in case no branch is pointing
them anymore. On the other hand these tags should not pollute the
namespace of normal tags, means: don't want a 'git tag' command to
list those technical tags.

Ciao
 Chris
