Retrospectively added some tags but git log A..B shows no commits

My repo had the following tags:

2.2.1
2.0
1.4
1.3
1.2

I retrospectively added 0.0 and 1.0 tags using the following commands:

git checkout <SHA of some old commit>
git tag 1.0
git push origin tag 1.0

Now when I do the following on master

git log 1.2..1.0

there is no output.

Also, previously following was showing the correct output but now even that is empty

git log 2.2.1..2.0

Any help is appreciated.

Solution

  • If you are following common sense and lower version tags are placed before higher ones, you are asking to run log from a newer revision to an older one.... you should not expect to see much output there. Just like if you ran git log HEAD..HEAD~2... there will be nothing coming out of that.
