No problem. I was very happily to isolate it outside the large repo I was working with...
Contrary to my first e-mail, 'git checkout -b branchFoo tagFoo' doesn't solve the problem... My guess is I got lazy and did a "normal" local clone (no file URL) when I was testing.
Data from further testing:
- doing a "normal" local clone doesn't emit the error
- a remote clone over ssh does emit the error (so it's not just file:///)
- in a brand new repo (init'ed, not cloned) 'git fetch ../foo refs/tags/tagFoo:refs/tags/tagFoo' fails:
error: unable to find 28fffee... (sha of tag object)
- in a brand new repo 'git fetch ../foo refs/heads/branchFoo:ref/heads/branchFoo' succeeds, and correctly fetches tagFoo (where branchFoo is created via 'git checkout -b branchFoo tagFoo')
Thanks,
Stephen
