Get all tags from all branches

[cbrgm]

Hey guys,

I need some advice from you. I want to list all tags from all branches of my repository (equal to the git describe --tags $(git rev-list --tags) command). I'm writing a function that returns the Hash for a given tag name.

I already tried using the References() and Tags() function, but I cannot get it to work.

func (g *Git) getHashByTagName(tagName string) (*plumbing.Reference, error) {
	tags, err := g.repo.Tags()
	if err != nil {
		return nil, err
	}

	var result *plumbing.Reference
	tags.ForEach(func(reference *plumbing.Reference) error {
		if tagName == reference.Name().Short() {
			result = reference
			return errors.New("ErrStop")
		}
		return nil
	})

	if result == nil {
		return nil, errors.Errorf("Unable to find tag %v", tagName)
	}
	return result, nil
}

I only get the references for annotated tags, seems like lightweight tags are ignored?

Got:

v1.0.1                            
v1.0 

Want:

v1.0.1                                              
v1.0-2-ga1050a44                                    
v1.0-1-g46b4c026                                    
v1.0

I believe that Tags() method documentation is wrong. It only returns lightweight tags, not annotated ones.

To return annotated tags too, you need to call to TagObjects().

I created a PR modifying method documentation: #905

Thanks @ajnavarro ! Sorry for my late reply. TagObjects() did work!
