Try this:
$ git checkout v1.5.5
Note: moving to 'v1.5.5' which isn't a local branch
If you want to create a new branch from this checkout, you may do so
(now or later) by using -b with the checkout command again. Example:
git checkout -b <new_branch_name>
HEAD is now at 1d2375d... GIT 1.5.5
[look around, and then ...]
$ git checkout HEAD~2
Previous HEAD position was 1d2375d... GIT 1.5.5
HEAD is now at f61cc48... git-svn: fix following renamed paths when tracking a single path
[go out for lunch ... and forget what this was about.]
$ git reflog -3
f61cc48 HEAD@{0}: checkout: moving from 1d2375d... to HEAD~2
1d2375d HEAD@{1}: checkout: moving from master to v1.5.5
c274db7 HEAD@{2}: pull : Fast forward
Here I have all the information to see what I did, and from what state.
I even know that I did a pull on the master branch before moving away
from it. The -3 limits the log to 3 entries. With no limit you get it
all in your default pager.
So there is no need for another mechanism to find out what tag was
actually checked out -- you have it all already.
