Display bug with tags (from cvsimport)
Reported by John Reilly | April 17th, 2008 @ 02:10 PM
See attached screenshot:
1) Click on tag "4.5.2" from "all tags" menu
2) Commit history breadcrumbs is missing the "4.5" part of the tag
3) The tag name in the navigation is missing the ".2" part of the tag
4) Also, the commit history is missing. (Not sure, but that could be my fault)
I compared this to the rails project's tags, they've got history, and the navigation tag name is right (parts 3 and 4 from above), but their "breadcrumbs" (part 2) doesn't have the tag name at all.
Mine: "carousel/.2/Commit History"
Rails: "rails/Commit History"
Only difference I can see is that the rails tags start with a letter (v1.1.1) versus mine which start with a number (4.5.2).

Can anyone else confirm this behavior, or is it just me? It's going to become a problem for us fairly soon.
I tried to reproduce this with a test repo by making two tags, one starting with a letter, and one with a number, and couldn't get it to happen again. So I think it has something to do with my repos being messed up somehow.
The repos in question were all imports from CVS. They had tag names like:
- Release_4_5_6
- Release_4_6_2
During the import, i used the -u option to git-cvsimport to convert them to :
- Release.4.5.6
- Release.4.6.2
Then I "renamed" each of them by adding a new tag "4.5.6" on top of the existing tag, then deleting the old "Release.4.5.6" tag, leaving just:
*4.5.6
*4.6.2
After all of this, I then pushed the repo to github.
Could this have messed something up such that github can't display it?
Our (private) repo is called "cablecast" belonging to the user "trms"

For what it's worth, I used grit to poke around at the repos on my machine, and all the correct tag names and commits are returned as expected. (As far as I can tell, anyway.)

For what it's worth, I just now pushed up a new tag (with an annotation), and that new tag is displaying the list of commits correctly.
All my other tags are still exhibiting this display bug. Not sure exactly what is different, but I now have a project with "broken" and "good" tags, which might be helpful somehow in tracking it down.
