Tags on detached HEAD not shown in Repository/Network
Summary
When I create a tag on a detached HEAD (which is e.g. the default state in gitlab-ci), I am not able to see the tag in Repository/Network.
This is useful for Maven or Debian where the version number from pom.xml resp. debian/control is used as package version.
Just take the SHA1 of a successful commit, change the version number from the detached head, build (and upload) the release and then push the tag. We just defined a manual job in a stage after the successful build/test of a commit in master, which will do this.
By means of this, development may procure on master and we do not have the hassle with special release branches.
Steps to reproduce
- Clone a project.
- Checkout the HEAD of master using the SHA1 (detached head)
- Change a file (e.g. the version number)
- Commit on the detached head
- Tag the detached head
- Push tags
- Checkout master again.

Expected behavior
When choosing the tag from the dropdown In Repository/Network I would like to see a one-commit-branch with the tag name.
Actual behavior
I only see the master commits in Repository/Network
