[llvm-dev] No tags in the Git mirrors

[David Wiberg via llvm-dev]

Hi,

I might be missing something but not mirroring tags in the Git
repository seems problematic. If someone wants to build a specific
release (from Git repo), how can they know which commit on the release
branch they should use?

Best regards
David
