title: How to get a git tag message from the Github API
body: <p>I'm trying to get tag messages from the Github API. It <a href="https://developer.github.com/v3/git/tags/">says here</a> I'm supposed to use this URL:<br>
  <a href="https://api.github.com/repos/octocat/Hello-World/git/tags/940bd336248efae0f9ee5bc7b2d5c985887b16ac">https://api.github.com/repos/octocat/Hello-World/git/tags/940bd336248efae0f9ee5bc7b2d5c985887b16ac</a></p>
  
  <p>But I get "Not found" there, even if I try my own repo:<br>
  <a href="https://api.github.com/repos/richbrat/testrepo/git/tags/6cec7db2ae2d0213644480ba58bcc4a277ae8a2b">https://api.github.com/repos/richbrat/testrepo/git/tags/6cec7db2ae2d0213644480ba58bcc4a277ae8a2b</a></p>
  
  <p>I'm using the <a href="http://mikedeboer.github.io/node-github/">node-github package</a> with an oauth token and it's working really well for the "repos" calls but "gitdata" doesn't seem to work. Checking the headers I get back gives me a hint though:</p>
  
  <pre><code>... "x-oauth-scopes":"user, public_repo, repo, gist","x-accepted-oauth-scopes":"repo" ...
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Gitdata seems to be outside my scope. Is it possible to get it into my scope or is there another solution to get tag messages?</p>
