Well: $ git --version git version 1.6.0.4 $ mkdir test-tag $ cd test-tag/ $ date > A $ git init Initialized empty Git repository in /home/fmoreau/tmp/git/test-tag/.git/ $ git add . $ git commit -a -s -m "Init" Created initial commit be8750e: Init 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) create mode 100644 A $ cd .. $ git clone --bare test-tag test-tag.git Initialized empty Git repository in /home/fmoreau/tmp/git/test-tag.git/ $ cd test-tag $ git tag light $ git tag -a -m "Annoted tag" annoted $ git push ../test-tag.git Everything up-to-date $ git push --tags ../test-tag.git Counting objects: 1, done. Writing objects: 100% (1/1), 166 bytes, done. Total 1 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0) Unpacking objects: 100% (1/1), done. To ../test-tag.git * [new tag] annoted -> annoted * [new tag] light -> light It looks like they're no difference for git-push... That said the documentation about this is rather cryptic IMHO: ,----[ man git-push ] | --tags | All refs under $GIT_DIR/refs/tags are pushed, in | addition to refspecs explicitly listed on the command | line. `---- >From a user point of view, the word lightweight is missing here. Why not simply saying: ,---- | All kind of tags are pushed with this option _otherwise_ only annoted | tags are pushed `---- thanks -- Francis -- 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
