  * For annotated tags:
    * `created_at` contains the timestamp of tag creation.
    * `message` contains the annotation.
    * `target` contains the tag object’s ID.
  * For lightweight tags:
    * `created_at` is null.
    * `message` is null.
    * `target` contains the commit ID.


Errors return status code `405` with an explanatory error message.
