FYI: Change in how Git mirrors handle svn tags

Hi,

I've just deployed a nice new git.apache.org feature [1] contributed
by Daniel Truemper. This feature maps svn tags to proper git tags
instead of pseudo-tags like "tags/$tagname".

This means that a downstream clone can now use the "git tag" command
instead of "git branch" to access the tags of an upstream codebase in
Apache svn. This should also make various Git GUIs deal better with
tag information in git.apache.org clones.

See [1] for more details of this change.

BR,
