Hi,
This series of commands:
git init
touch file1
git add file1
git commit -m 1
echo >> file1
touch file2
git add file1 file2
git commit -m 2
git tag -m 'mytag' mytag
git filter-branch --index-filter 'git rm --cached --ignore-unmatch file2' \
--tag-name-filter cat -f -- --all
git clone file://$PWD temp
Results in an error from the clone command:
error: refs/tags/mytag does not point to a valid object!
The clone command exits with zero status, but the new repo doesn't contain
the tag 'mytag'.
Version 1.6.2.5 did not have this problem. It bisects to:
commit 5bdc32d3e50d8335c65e136e6b5234c5dd92a7a9

make 'git clone' ask the remote only for objects it cares about
