Git fetch commit id using tagid

in my master branch I have a condition to fetch the commit id by using Tagid.Tried with git rev-parse 0.0.xx. This is giving me hash value only. Is there any way to get the current commit id based on tagid.

I missed somthing in the comment.

If 0.0.xx is an annotated tag, which has a log message, git rev-parse 0.0.xx returns the hash of the tag object.

To get the commit id it points to, use git rev-parse 0.0.xx^{} instead.

If 0.0.xx is a lightweight tag, both git rev-parse 0.0.xx and git rev-parse 0.0.xx^{} return the commit id.

So regardless of the type of the tag, git rev-parse <tag>^{} always returns the commit it points to.

See gitrevisions.
