Yes you're right - it was around midnight and i was tired.
That's a stupid change.

In fact i'm lazy, so i'll assume that hardly happens until the
first error occurs :).

This morning i've reread tutorial(-2)? and user-manual, which,
plus core-tutorial, where the files i've really read :-).
And guess what, in neither of these files you will find a single
word or even example about this, but the talk is only on branches!
everyday.txt and gitworkflows.txt, however, give you

    <13> push the tag out, too.
..
    You need to push the new tag to a public git serve..
    This makes the tag available

Interesting ", too" and "You need to" that is, maybe ;-/.
I'll propose for real fewest minor changes in the documentation,
so that users get a glance on that fact.  I would assume that
these few lines would have been enough for me to "get a starter".

Thanks for the responses.
(By the way: "an arbitrary SHA-1 expression will do" sounds like
it's talking about a cool and flexible software.)
