If you say "git fetch $remote tag $that_tag" there shouldn't be any difference. And the difference in the automated following behaviour is deliberate. Lightweight ones tend to be private "anchor point" during development (these days we need that less often, thanks to reflogs), and annotated ones, especially the signed kinds are meant for public consumption. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
