title: Download a specific tag with Git
body: <p>I'm trying to figure out how I can download a particular tag of a Git repository - it's one version behind the current version.</p>
  
  <p>I saw there was a tag for the previous version on the git web page, with object name of something long hex number. </p>
  
  <p>But the version name is "<code>Tagged release 1.1.5</code>" according the site.</p>
  
  <p>I tried a command like this (with names changed):</p>
  
  <pre><code>git clone http://git.abc.net/git/abc.git my_abc
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And I did get something - a directory, a bunch of subdirectories, etc.  </p>
  
  <p>If it's the whole repository, how do I get at the version I'm seeking? If not, how do I download that particular version? </p>
