Re: How to create tags outside of refs/tags?

But look at my intention:

I would like to create such tags to mark released states of my sources

namespace of normal tags, means: don't want a 'git tag' command to
list those technical tags.

Is there any better way to achieve that certain commits are not
garbage collected than to create such tags. I love my foot and don't
want to "shoot if off" but I want to make sure the the
"release-process-machinery" in our company can be sure that certain
source states are never gc'ed. I can also live with creating normal
tags 'refs/tags/release/1.20' but would prefer a solution where 'git
tags' shows only developer created tags.

Will any ref underneath "refs/' prevent gc to garbage collect a
commit? Or only those in the well-known locations (e.g. refs/tags/*)
