I noticed that I am often doing this

hack commit hack commit  hack commit ...

git tag  -s works -m "works on xyz, must rewrite abc"
git reset --hard HEAD~1

hack ...

I only tag just in case I want to revisit the design.
However, after I reset, I often forget how did
I name the tag. It would be nice if reflog would
show tag descriptions, which it does not seem to.

Comments?

I'm not sure about your exact requirements, but maybe

git log --tags --simplify-by-decoration

does something useful for you. Also remember gitk etc. which takes the
same arguments for commit selection (those of git-rev-list). I always
forget about the power of git-rev-list options when used with log and
gitk. Thanks for reminding me :)

Cheers,
Michael
