Summary0003971: No annotated Git tags are available (since the repository migration from Mercurial to Git)
DescriptionStarting with the migration from Mercurial to Git (Doomseeker 1.3.1), new releases have been kept tagged with lightweight Git tags.
Quote from git-tag(1)
Tag objects (created with -a, -s, or -u) are called "annotated" tags; they contain a creation date, the tagger name and e-mail, a tagging message, and an optional GnuPG signature. Whereas a "lightweight" tag is simply a name for an object (usually a commit object).
Annotated tags are meant for release while lightweight tags are meant for private or temporary object labels.

I believe every version released at least since Git has been the primary repository (1.3.1 and later) should have annotated tags instead. Existing lightweight tags should be converted?

 Taking GitHub as a practical third-party site example, from former experience as a GitHub user, IIRC "annotated tags" are placed into a "releases" section with downloads while everything (or lightweight tags") are placed into "tags".
I'm reporting this because I was a bit frustrated at 1.3.3 tag being rewritten because it "wasn't released yet" (0003959:0022106), and Zalewa was kind of correct, because arguably nothing has been tagged as a "release" (using annotated tags).

 Well, I did this.

All lightweight tags were converted to annotated. I set the dates of the tags to the dates of their respective tagged commits, and the tagger user to myself. This is probably historically inaccurate, but I don't know if we can still obtain the this information from Hg (also: it's not that important).

Since this edits the public history (oh boy) all users who have the clone with lightweight tags now need to do:
git fetch --tags --force


All new tags from now one shall be annotated.
