My problem is that I don't see their point !
They behave the same way like the annotated tags: when pushing to a
repo the lightweight tags are pushed as well, and pulling from a repo
with lightweight tags give the same results (all of this with the
--tags switch).
Don't use explicit --tags blindly. It says "no matter what kind of tag,
transfer everything under refs/tags". Otherwise you won't see a
difference.
