## Environment

- Drone 1.2.1
- Kubernetes
- Gogs 0.11.79.1211

## Steps to reproduce this issue

**1. Create .drone.yml**

```auto
kind: pipeline
name: default
steps:
- name: test-tag-v1
  image: alpine
  commands:
  - echo 'test-tag-v1'
  when:
    ref:
    - refs/tags/v*

```

**2. Create and push tag**

> git tag v1.0 && git push origin v1.0

**3. Triggered successfully**

**4. Edit .drone.yml**  
I increased version from 1 to 2.

```auto
kind: pipeline
name: default
steps:
- name: test-tag-v2
  image: alpine
  commands:
  - echo 'test-tag-v2'
  when:
    ref:
    - refs/tags/v*

```

**6. Push and Create tag**

> git add . && git commit -a -m ‘update .drone.yml’  
> git tag v2.0 && git push origin v2.0

**7. Output was not corrected**

It seems that it was caused by cache. The cache key are all the same for different tags.  
[contents.go#L20](https://github.com/drone/drone/blob/3650a5d21bbf086fa8d2f16b0067ddeecfa604df/service/content/cache/contents.go#L20)

```
// content key pattern used in the cache, comprised of the
// repository slug, commit and path.
const contentKey = "%s/%s/%s"

```

See the following issues:

- [https://github.com/gogs/gogs/pull/5689](https://github.com/gogs/gogs/pull/5689)
- [https://github.com/gogs/gogs/issues/4363](https://github.com/gogs/gogs/issues/4363)

There are two issues / features that need to be resolved / implemented by gogs. Note that these have already been [implemented](https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/issues/286) by gitea. These are:

1. gogs does not allow fetching a file by reference
2. gogs does not include commit sha in the tag payload

Hi @bradrydzewski,  
The issue still exists after I upgrade Gogs. The commit sha was included in the tag payload.

Drone requires a code change to read the value. There is an open pull request for this and we hope to include in our next release.
