I have a repo to which I push to frequently. For each release of the software from this repo, I create an annotated tag and push it to this repo. I noticed yesterday that he has a single tag in it, when it should have 100+. The tag there was the last one I pushed to it.

The missing tags were created with

  git tag -a -m "release 4.2rm t1" release42rm_t1 HEAD

and pushed to the (bare) repo in question with

  git push origin release42rm_t1

I cannot imagine how the tags got deleted, and I'm looking for some guidance.

Thanks.

Kevin

How did you verify that the tags were deleted? Are you sure they are not just packed?

Ack.  I didn't know about packed tags.

Thanks, and sorry for the noise.
