IMHO --tags should behave as Erez expected (because it's what I
expected, too). As --tags currently behaves it's only usable in very
rare cases (most of the time it only makes a difference on repos without
any annotated tag).
When do you pass --tags? Only if a lightweight tag is OK for an answer.
And then I would prefer a "near" lightweight tag to a "farer" annotated
one.
Best regards
Uwe
