OK, that worked: I traced (with git cat-file) the tree through all tagged tag until the first tagged commit, and hack packed-refs (or refs/tags/foo) to point to the commit object, and afterwards prune the dangling tag. However, the other questions remain. I'd think git tag should dereference its 2nd non-option argument to a commit before laying down the tag... -- Matthias Andree
