Huh, i hadn't noticed that older tags had been removed in the canonical
upstream git repo, i agree that's unusual and rather strange.

The repository where i record debian packaging changes includes a full
copy of the upstream repo (at least as far as what's been packaged) and
that naturally includes the older tags as well:

    https://anonscm.debian.org/git/collab-maint/wireguard.git/refs/tags

You're always welcome to pull the tags from there (the upstream takgs
should all be cryptographically signed by Jason, so you can verify
authenticity even if the network source is different).
