Weird. I'm seeing some evidence of my tag annotations, but the first parts are cut off and I don't see a way to view all of them. Maybe they are still getting the kinks worked out...

Hmm. I created a dummy package and allowed GitHub to create the tag for the release. It looks like it used a lightweight tag, and I don't see any evidence of any extra refs:

    $ git ls-remote https://github.com/dlitz/dummy
    23ed6e532fb4a3eb1403e0091885ccdb9f09b577        HEAD
    23ed6e532fb4a3eb1403e0091885ccdb9f09b577        refs/heads/master
    23ed6e532fb4a3eb1403e0091885ccdb9f09b577        refs/tags/v0.0

Pull requests, on the other hand, are stored as refs in the remote git repo:

    $ git ls-remote https://github.com/dlitz/pycrypto
