use git show on a tag which has same name as file

Question

I have an annotated tag that's called folicp but there is also a file with the same name so when I try to run

git show folicp 

I get fatal: ambiguous argument 'test': both revision and filename

Answer 1

You can use git show folicp --. The -- distinguishes refs from filenames.

Alternatively you could use the fully-qualified tag name, git show refs/tags/folicp
