Package: dgit Version: 13.0 Currently the upstream tag is not used by dgit, but it is used by git-deborig or origtargz if the usere asks to make an orig tarball. With tag2upload, the tag is typically present on the builder.
In neither case, does this tag end up in a formally archived location on Debian infrastructure. (It typicaly *is* on salsa.) Ideally the tag would end up on dgit-repos. There is a problem, though: the git tag namespace is global (and there is no standardised name for upstream tags). So dgit-repos cannot (and doesn't) allow arbitrary tags to be pushed. We need to define a git representation for upstream tags which isn't "put them under refs/tags/<upstream-tag-name>". Maybe a new subtree under refs/. Should it be indexed by the Debian package version, to allow different revisions of the "same upstream version" to be based on different git tags? That's an anomaly which is current permitted (I think, by accident) in the Debian archive and therefore by the current system.
