Thanks for posting my dropped message.  Apparently the gmail Android
app doesn't do plain text.  I understand that parsing the reflog
message may not be future-proof, but I'm going to go for it.  I think
that will be more reliable than trying to track the tag name
externally.  Having the reflog message show up for a "-b" clone would
be helpful, but it will be easy enough for me to clone HEAD, then
immediately checkout the tag of interest.  Thanks again for the
suggestion, would've never thought use the reflog.
