IIRC, in `git fetch` if a tag is contained in one of the updated branches, you get it automatically without specifying an additional flag. What you say is true for 'orphaned tags' which no remote branch contains.

The tag in the repo is `v4.11-rc7` not `v4.11-rc7-87`. The `-87-g28cf22d0ba28` suffix is added by `git describe`.

I'll try to clarify. The `<tag>-g<hash>` string is _not_ the name of the tag, it's a string emitted by `git describe` based on the existence of `<tag>` in the history. Of course I'm not suggesting that tag n

Yes, but a pushed tag `test` pollutes a local `test` name for everybody, whereas `test` as a local branch is just a local branch. A remote `test` branch is only referred via `<remote-name>/test` from a local POV.

My example is relevant to tagging in branches that may merge back into the main one. The stable branches in Linux are cherry-pick branches that don't get merged back and therefore creating tags there is harmless.

I don't think that it poses an issue with merge conflicts. It is likely not an issue as long as the tagging is only made on the main branch by the release managers. I know it is working well for Linux kernel hackers. Linus does all the

OP here. I agree with this as well, you are not missing anything. I was meaning to write another post about a similar approach. To illustrate to readers, let's say we are developing over a tag `v1.2-pre` in `main`, and now the code has

These are not mutually exclusive. Tags relate to commits irrespective of the containing branch or the merge history.
