Yes, better and much more illuminating.

Do we still need the standalone `git tag` invocation above?

Similarly, it's not clear why there is a standalone `git tag` invocation here. Does it buy us anything or am I missing something obvious? The originating commit[*] doesn't explain its purpose.

  19. [GSoC] [PATCH v4 1/1] Remove the pipe following the `git tag`, ensuring the exit code is not hidden. Add explicit verification to check for expected and unexpected tags, increasing specificity and future-proofing a portion of the test.Anthony Wang, Apr 8, 2025
