在列出 git-ls-remote 时,为什么标记名称后面有“ ^ {}”?

当我在工作树中运行 git ls-remote时,该命令会在原始报表中输出一个修订列表。由于某种原因,我每个标签都有两个修订版本,对于同一个标签的第二个修订版本,标签名称包括 ^{}

git ls-remote

我创建标签

git tag -a v0.1.8 -m "tag message"
git push --tags

git-ls-remote 手册的例子中没有这样的重复标记,所以也许我做错了什么?

There are 2 types of tags:

  • lightweight - merely refs that point to some object (like a commit).
  • annotated - a separate git object by themselves, and store a lot more information like author, committer, a commit message, etc.

When you used git tag -a to create a tag, git would have created an annotated tag for you.

The ^{} is the syntax used to dereference a tag. It is described in gitrevisions.

  • When used with tag objects, git would recursively dereference the tag until it finds a non-tag object.

  • When used with non-tag objects, it doesn't do anything and is equivalent to skipping the ^{}

The refs/tags/v0.1.6 ref in your repository points to the tag object bb944682f7f65272137de74ed18605e49257356c, which in turn points to 771a930dc0ba86769d6862bc4dc100acc50170fa (a non-tag object) which I'm guesssing is storing the commit information when you created the tag.

So when you do refs/tags/v0.1.6^{}, git is going to dereference the tag and resolve it to 771a930dc0ba86769d6862bc4dc100acc50170fa - the non-tag object.

There is also a git show-ref command that can be used to list only tags, and optionally dereference as follows, and in your case should produce the following output:

$ git show-ref --tags
bb944682f7f65272137de74ed18605e49257356c    refs/tags/v0.1.6
a72251d945353a360087eb78ee75287c38a1c0e6    refs/tags/v0.1.7


$ git show-ref --tags --dereference
bb944682f7f65272137de74ed18605e49257356c    refs/tags/v0.1.6
771a930dc0ba86769d6862bc4dc100acc50170fa    refs/tags/v0.1.6^{}
a72251d945353a360087eb78ee75287c38a1c0e6    refs/tags/v0.1.7
d69e66d7c915b9682618b7f304b80cc0ae4c7809    refs/tags/v0.1.7^{}

To confirm this, you can use git show command to give you more details about the git object.

This is the information from one of my test git repositories.

$ git show 43f9a98886ba873c0468c608f24c408b9991414f
