I have a particular tag in my repo that shows 2 annotated descriptions, which is very confusing.
The command I ran:
``` git show --format=fuller 4.2.0.1900 ```
And the output:
``` tag 4.2.0/1900 Tagger: John Doe <john.doe@domain.com> TaggerDate: Fri Jul 18 10:46:30 2014 -0500
QA/Internal Release for 4.2.0.19
tag 4.2.0/1900 Tagger: John Doe <john.doe@domain.com> TaggerDate: Fri Jul 18 10:46:15 2014 -0500
QA/Internal Release
commit 2fcfd00ef84572fb88852be55315914f37e91e11 (tag: 4.2.0.1900) Author: John Doe <john.doe@domain.com> AuthorDate: Thu Jul 17 11:20:17 2014 -0500 Commit: John Doe <john.doe@domain.com> CommitDate: Thu Jul 17 11:20:17 2014 -0500
Commit description ```
Why does it show two entries? In my `packed-refs` file, it also shows a strange revision for the tag (I expect to see just 1 SHA1). Not sure if it is related:
``` 66c41d67da887025c4e22e9891f5cd261f82eb31 refs/tags/4.2.0.1900 ^2fcfd00ef84572fb88852be55315914f37e91e11 ```
Note I'm checking all of this on a bare clone (used `git clone --mirror`). Can someone help me understand what is going on here? I found this issue because I'm trying to do `git lfs migrate import`, and it isn't processing my tag because of this.
