[Docutils-develop] [docutils:bugs] #492 Git repo lacking tags

[jfbu <jf...@us...>]

I git cloned again with https://repo.or.cz/docutils.git not git protocol and got (as expected) the same result.

Notice that ab29cf78ae24a9  is indeed the doctuils-0.21.2 tag but it is not the commit or one of the commits in recent history referring to 0.21.2 release.  

~~~
$ git log --oneline --grep 0.21.2
0353066fb Fix headers for release 0.21.2
f344d4daf releasing 0.21.2
323957acb Version 0.21.2
6729e38e3 version 0.21.2b.dev
~~~

It is as if all `docutils-...` tags refer to some other branch, and the origin remote does contain many branches other than master but none has a name which seems encouraging to me to try out.  The 0.21.2 release seems to about 200 commits back in history, not 9344 commits.  So we can't use `docutils-...` prefixed tags for bisecting. 

If I  count commits separating docutils-0.21.2 from master HEAD:
~~~
$ git log --oneline docutils-0.21.2...master | wc -l
   15385
~~~
It looks as if all these tags are on a separate "release" branch which I do not see ats available at my check out.

When I diff between master HEAD and such tags, I see in particular that there is one less layer of `docutils/` nesting.  Maybe there is some business of a git sub-module (but that exceeds greatly my git knowledge).  In brief the tags seem to belong to some other `.git` structure but somehow are visible from the public svn-to-git mirror repo.

**[bugs:#492] Git repo lacking tags**

I updated my docutils git clone (from `url = git://repo.or.cz/docutils.git`), did `git pull --tags` which fetched tags such as `docutils-0.21.2`.  Then I started `git bisect` to research some issue but could not understand HEAD was seemingly thousands of commits ahead of  `docutils-0.21.2`.  In output of `git log --oneline` I indeed found much more recent releases, but none of these releases have git tags (which would normally show here).

I am surely missing the obvious... (I dimly remember years ago having had already problems with tags on this project, which I think was simply due to me not having done `git pull --tags`...).
