Good!
Any change in adding an option to filter tags list by annotated only?

I tried, just sent the patch, hopefully I managed to follow the guide I
found here:
http://repo.or.cz/w/git.git?a=blob;f=Documentation/SubmittingPatches;hb=HEAD
As you suggested I removed the "title" line and the reference to git
describe default.
If I did something wrong please explain me what and I'll fix it
