tag, your git
$ git describe fatal: No annotated tags can describe '8a862fd5e94a06c7fc1088623f594cd5bf864168'.However, there were unannotated tags: try --tags.
$ git describe --tags 2.3.3-8386-g8a862fd5e9

Merge pull request #77 from scalamacros/topic/antlocale Addresses a bug in SimpleDateFormatter
what's the official line on tags?

I don't know about "official", but the one thing I've learned about tags is that they should be permanent. So the only tags I want in the central repo are tags corresponding to released versions. If I understand your and ijuma's messages, we presently have "lightweight tags" where we should have "heavyweight tags". If that's the case then I can probably fix it.

By the way, for those wondering the difference between annotated tags and otherwise:
"There are a two main types of tags in Git - lightweight and annotated. Lightweight tags are very much like branches that don’t change - it’s just a pointer to a specific commit. Annotated tags, however, are stored as full objects in the Git database. They are checksummed, contain the tagger name, email and date, have a tagging message and can be GPG signed and verified. It’s generally recommended to create annotated tags so you can have all this information, but if you want a temporary tag or for some reason don’t want to keep that other information, lightweight tags are available too." http://learn.github.com/p/tagging.html
