I think it's just because pretty_print_ref() does not take a "flag" parameter for the caller. So it never sees that REF_ISSYMREF is set.yeah, pretty_print_ref() does not set the flag, this is a defect of pretty_print_ref(), maybe we need to find a way to set this flag.In general, I think it could take a flag parameter from its caller. But its caller comes indirectly from for_each_tag_name(), which isn't a regular ref-iterator. It would probably need to switch to using read_ref_full() to get the flags.
Yeah, I think using read_ref_full() with verify_tag() changes can solve this BUG: $ git.fix tag --verify --format='verify: %(refname) %(symref)' annotated symref verify: refs/tags/annotated verify: refs/tags/symref refs/tags/annotated

I notice that the --verify output also shows the short refname, which makes me wonder if %(symref) would have other bugs there (because it has to re-resolve the ref to come up with the symref destination).This may be easy to fix:diff --git a/builtin/tag.c b/builtin/tag.c index 452558ec95..4be5d36366 100644 --- a/builtin/tag.c +++ b/builtin/tag.c@@ -152,11 +152,11 @@ static int verify_tag(const char *name, const char *ref, if (format->format) flags = GPG_VERIFY_OMIT_STATUS; - if (gpg_verify_tag(oid, name, flags)) + if (gpg_verify_tag(oid, ref, flags)) return -1; if (format->format) - pretty_print_ref(name, oid, format); + pretty_print_ref(ref, oid, format); return 0; }Yeah, I think that would work, although: - there's another caller in cmd_verify_tag() which seems to just pass whatever was on the command line. It doesn't even resolve the ref itself!
We can modify get_oid() --> read_ref_full() in cmd_verify_tag()... Yes, the inconsistency between cmd_verify_tag() and verify_tag() makes me feel very strange.
- I suspect people may be relying on the current behavior. The
original was added to be able to compare the internal tagname to the
refname. I.e., that:
git tag -v --format='%(refname) %(tag)' foo
would show "foo foo". Now that _should_ be "%(refname:strip=2)", I
think, but we'd probably be breaking scripts. OTOH, it really feels
like _not_ handing over a real, fully-qualified refname to the
ref-filter code will mean other things are broken (e.g.,
ATOM_UPSTREAM is assuming we have a fully-qualified ref).This is indeed a sad thing: A bug becomes a feature.
I think a backwards-compatible way of fixing it would be to have
this call hand over the full refname to the ref-filter code, but
tell it that %(refname) should default to strip=2. And then anybody
who wants the full name can use %(refname:strip=0).Doesn't this make things more complicated? Those callers of git for-each-ref, wouldn't our changes like this destroy them?
It makes the behavior confusing and quirky, but we can't avoid that
without breaking compatibility.Eh, I think we may need other solutions.
