Hello,

I'm really a but stumped on this one. I've got a set of tags (created by git-svnimport):

  $ git tag -l release-4*
  release-4-0-0tp1
  release-4-0-0tp2
  release-4-0-0tp3
  release-4-0-0tp4

but when I "git-clone samba-svnimport tags-test"", one tag is missing.

  $ git tag -l release-4*
  release-4-0-0tp2
  release-4-0-0tp3
  release-4-0-0tp4

Running git-clone -l works as expected (i.e. the tp1 tag appears in the clone).

Here's some more info about the tag in the original svnimport repo:

$ ls -l .git/refs/tags/ total 0

$ grep release-4 .git/packed-refs 2fbd67786af06b8f5184048d997b660cbd80cbc4 refs/tags/release-4-0-0tp1 a786f423d6dee793418e8c6591f9b962c0fa96bc refs/tags/release-4-0-0tp2 1fea21bffc836a28e3e86e930d3d9fca85590ae6 refs/tags/release-4-0-0tp3 c58417a9934d3c1f04becb542a9fb6334a07f19d refs/tags/release-4-0-0tp4

$ for h in `grep release-4 .git/packed-refs | awk '{print $1}'`; \
  do git-cat-file -t $h; done
tag
tag
tag
tag

Any suggestions on how to debug this? Am I just misunderstanding something about tags?

cheers, jerry

Sorry. I did get confused. And I now understand what happened. git-clone works correctly. What I did was "git-remote add svn /.../path" followed by a "git-fetch svn". Looks like that one tag was not directly reachable in the history. Running "git-fetch -t svn" gave me the missing tags.

Sorry for the noise.

cheers, jerry
