A tag is just a pointer on some commit (annotated tag contains additional information such as creater, data, message), in any case, it has no direct relation to any branch. > when I click on that commit, it doesn't have precedes or > follows information. Is this by design? Tags do not store any precedes or follows information, no matter how you created them, but visualization tools can look at the tree and display what was before some commit and what was after it. Without seeing your tree, it is impossible to tell whether gitk (or what you use?) displayed that correctly or not.
