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 ``` ## Junio C Hamano, 2012-04-23 19:17 Subject: Re: tags not present in bare clone Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/xmqqsjfui7gn.fsf%40junio.mtv.corp.google.com In-Reply-To: <0BE9553B-C799-43D5-BA9A-28FC83CA0773@linea.gov.br> ``` Patricia Bittencourt Egeland writes: > I'm trying to create a bare clone from a regular repo (all > locally; in the same machine).

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 [master (root-commit) b9c684a] initial 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) create mode 100644 xyzzy $ echo nitfol >xyzzy && git commit -a -m second [master 6982d52] second 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) $ git tag -a -m 'First revision' v1.0 HEAD^ $ git tag -a -m 'Second revision' v2.0 HEAD $ git for-each-ref 6982d523f08b93dc6862ae80e80065b208d0ba85 commit refs/heads/master 33a6b315ffb461cba32d84ecd1692525a0846f5a tag refs/tags/v1.0 0d3f9dce20e28c6898423eb4a2c2010908e46a6c tag refs/tags/v2.0 $ cd ../ ;# back at /var/tmp/junk $ git clone src dst Cloning into 'dst'... done. $ cd dst $ git for-each-ref 6982d523f08b93dc6862ae80e80065b208d0ba85 commit refs/heads/master 6982d523f08b93dc6862ae80e80065b208d0ba85 commit refs/remotes/origin/HEAD 6982d523f08b93dc6862ae80e80065b208d0ba85 commit refs/remotes/origin/master 33a6b315ffb461cba32d84ecd1692525a0846f5a tag refs/tags/v1.0 0d3f9dce20e28c6898423eb4a2c2010908e46a6c tag refs/tags/v2.0 ``` ## Junio C Hamano, 2012-04-23 19:19 Subject: Re: tags not present in bare clone Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/xmqqobqii7c2.fsf%40junio.mtv.corp.google.com In-Reply-To: ``` Junio C Hamano writes: > Patricia Bittencourt Egeland writes: > >> I'm trying to create a bare clone from a regular repo (all >> locally; in the same machine).

Oops, I forgot --bare. > $ cd ../ ;# back at /var/tmp/junk > $ git clone src dst 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 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.
