git checkout of tag doesn't work in local area

[a-wf]

I tried the command git checkout $TAG

I notice it displayed taht it'is done. Hovewer, when I verified with command line "git describe --tags"
It show me, not the commit with tag, but the last commit pushed

@akdj Could you describe what did you do with go-git and git exactly? It seems you are trying to use some git commands on a repository you checked out with go-git, but we need to know the code you used to checkout.

Hi @smola ,
With go-git, I made a git clone of one of my gitlab repositories, then I tried to check out a tag release. it seems to be a "sucess" (there is a ''nil' error). So I stop my app. And in the local git repository that I just clone, I did a 'git describe --tags' for checking if it is really checking out.
As a result, the HEAD is on master branch's last commit. like the go-git checkout command is never performed.

Unfortunately, I didn't make a backup of this block of code... It is very similar to the example provided here indeed I copy paste

@akdj Thank you, we'll look into it.

@akdj You must checkout by commit hash. If you want to checkout a tag, you will have to get the commit that tag points to first. See #985
