EGit fails when checking out a tag "Mapping commit: refs/tags/v1.3.1.1" #38

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
When trying to check-out a signed tag I get the following error:

  Unable to switch branches
  Reason:
    Mapping commit: refs/tags/v1.3.1.1

  And in details:
    Object XXX is not a commit.

The object ID shown is actually the id for the tag object and not the
tagged commit.

This was tested with the latest master. It seemed commit 1f460e2 (Tests
and fixes for dereferencing tags in Repository.resolve(), 2008-09-12)
would fix it, but it didn't.

(reported on git ML)

From Jonas Fonseca:

Yea, a ^{} is missing somwhere...
