I agree. Lightweight tags intentionally lack all the information that
heavyweight tags have: committer/author, date, and log message. This
makes them quick and handy as a personal bookmarking system, but less
friendly for communication with others: all you have is the name. You
can't even know who created the tag, or when, or for what purpose,
unless it's all encoded it the tag name.
