Hi,
       I'm trying to create a bare clone from a regular repo (all locally; in the same machine). However a tag created in the regular repo can't be found in the fresh bare clone.
       I expected that the tags would also be present just like anything from "refs". Am I wrong about that?

Thanks, Patricia

Reproduction recipe???

A simple and straightforward attempt to reproduce what you said you did in your message does not exhibit any problem.

    $ mkdir -p /var/tmp/junk && cd /var/tmp/junk
    $ git init src && cd src
    Initialized empty Git repository in /var/tmp/junk/src/.git/
    $ echo frotz >xyzzy && git add xyzzy && git commit -m initial

Oops, I forgot --bare.

This should be "git --bare clone src dst" (or "git clone --bare src dst").

But everything else in my previous message still holds true. I am getting the identical output as the following.

Re: tags not present in bare clone

Thanks Junio. I confirm that I can see the tags. I was looking (ls) in .git/refs/tags, only.

But, after more search, it looks like tags may be stored in .git/packed-refs to improve a repo access. I didn't know about that. It is also good to know about "git for-each-refs" to list tags and the commit they point to.

Thanks, Patricia
