In our repository we have a few annotated tags and a lot of lightweight ones. It would be great if tig displayed lightweight tags.

According to man tigrc I had to create ~/.tigrc and put this

set reference-format = local-tag

But it didn't take an effect. How do I specify to use local tags?

$ git describe

$ git describe --tags
