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

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

For a real life example where tags would have helped see [this Sphinx comment](https://github.com/sphinx-doc/sphinx/pull/12745#issuecomment-2275315114). There are no tags associated to releases prior to 0.10 and one has to search manually for appropriate commit messages and then check them out.  And for tags since 0.10, with the exception of 0.14, they are as reported seemingly annotating some "mirrored" history, which has the commits but with other SHAs and not direct ancestors of current master tip. For example revision 5862 has two associated commits:
~~~
$ git checkout docutils-0.10
$ git log --grep docutils@5862
commit 59d5b34c2692d494a7bb3d680eb681c8ebbcb42e
Author: milde <milde@929543f6-e4f2-0310-98a6-ba3bd3dd1d04>

    latex2e writer: backwards compatible implementation of failsave custom roles
    
    git-svn-id: https://docutils.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/docutils/trunk/docutils@5862 929543f6-e4f2-0310-98a6-ba3bd3dd1d04
~~~
and
~~~
$ git checkout master
$ git log --grep trunk@5862
commit 472ada29b7003d67d955b9ad71c9e94f3156a048
Author: milde <milde@929543f6-e4f2-0310-98a6-ba3bd3dd1d04>

but you can't find both at same time, and the latter is as shown the one you find on master branch and then it is not an ancestor of the  `docutils-0.10` tag.

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

**Status:** open
**Created:** Mon Aug 05, 2024 09:47 AM UTC by jfbu
**Last Updated:** Wed Aug 07, 2024 09:09 AM UTC
**Owner:** nobody


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`...).
