It's documented to push only annotated tags both in the commit message of c2aba15 (push: --follow-tags, 2013-03-04) and in the man page, so it was done on purpose, but I don't know if it was a good thing. Perhaps a justification is that annotated tags are clearly meant to be public while lightweight tags can also be used as private bookmarks. In any case, the fact that it's been this way and documented this way since 2013 makes it a bit hard to change now. -- Matthieu Moy http://www-verimag.imag.fr/~moy/ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
