Tagging from within a worktree causes fatal: tag already exists

Tagging from within a worktree causes fatal: tag already exists

[Sivanandan Srilakshmanan]

Hi,

I have been using git and worktree for about 8 months and getting my
team upto speed, with absolute success. Thanks for your help during my
initial stages.

I am in the production readiness phase and wanted to merge the branch
into master, tag and deploy into UAT.

When I run "git tag -l" on any worktree, they all list the tag created
in proj1 (1.0.0-1).
But when I run "git show 1.0.0-1" it is associated only with proj1
(see listing below)
The issue is, I am unable to create a tag 1.0.0-1 in any other worktree.

In summary, I performed the following steps.  proj1 & proj2 are two
different git repositories.
1. Checked out master (proj1) into a local-directory-proj1-master using worktree
2. Merged the dev-branch into master
3. Pushed the change to central server
4. From the local-directory-proj1-master, I created a tag (1.0.0-1)
5. pushed the tag  to central server

6.  Checked out master (proj2) into a local-directory-proj2-master
using worktree
     Performed steps 2 & 3 above for proj 2

7.  From the local-directory-master (proj2) , I created a tag (1.0.0-1)
     fatal: tag '1.0.0-1' already exists

Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Lakshman
