Tags are recognized as commits about libgit2sharp HOT 8 CLOSED

Hmm... That is strange. I'll take a look!

Ok. So we aren't quite handling tag listing properly right now. I need to actually lookup the tag using the reference instead of just looking at what that reference points too (which is obviously a commit in most cases). It also looks like tag listing is actually getting support in libgit2 soon based on this PR.

I think I nailed the root cause.

Git handles two different kinds of tags (annotated and lightweight).

• Lightweight tags are nothing more than a direct reference to an object (commit, tree, ...)
• Annotated tags are a combination of a tag-object stored in the git object database and a direct reference to this tag-object

@gorbach :

Currently, the "null" tags that you encounter are Lightweight tags.
Thanks for spotting this. It's a very nice issue :) We're working on it! Fixing this will require some slights changes to the API.

from libgit2sharp.

Yes, you right. This issue is caused by lightweight tags.

from libgit2sharp.

We've added support for lightweight tags.

Would you please check that nulltoken/libgit2sharp@1b73c29 indeed fixes the issue?

from libgit2sharp.

Thanks! Merged your fix, works very well. Waiting for merge in main branch.

from libgit2sharp.

Quite glad it works as expected :)

Should be merged by tomorrow.

from libgit2sharp.

This fix has been merged to libgit2/master. Thanks for having pointed this issue out :)
