Nicely explained.

This is one of those "we who worked on Git (not worked "with" Git)
for a long time _know_ it and do not need it to be explained, and we
didn't spot that it is not explained in the documentation for new
people."

Good!

Any change in adding an option to filter tags list by annotated only?



Care to roll a documentation patch (and get a commit count for
yourself ;-)?

I tried, just sent the patch, hopefully I managed to follow the guide I found here: http://repo.or.cz/w/git.git?a=blob;f=Documentation/SubmittingPatches;hb=HEAD

As you suggested I removed the "title" line and the reference to git describe default.

If I did something wrong please explain me what and I'll fix it


Thanks.

You're Welcome :-)

Cheers,
Daniele Segato
