It will put you into DETACHED HEAD (not being on any branch). If you 
want to do some work you should always create a (local only) branch 
based on that tag:

# quickly create and checkout a branch based on any ref (a tag, ...)
$ git checkout -b <whatever-you-like> <tag-name>

# checkout tag into DETACHED HEAD for quick inspection
$ git checkout <tag_name>

# listing tags, with one line of information from the commit
$ git tag -ln1

hth and Greets,
Peter
