Lightweight Tags

Another way to tag commits is with a lightweight tag. This is basically the commit checksum stored in a file — no other information is kept. To create a lightweight tag, don’t supply any of the -a, -s, or -m options, just provide a tag name:

$ git tag v1.4-lw
$ git tag
v0.1
v1.3
v1.4
v1.4-lw
