[Import] Nx Import doesn't move tags

[DanielRivers]

Current Behavior

import project using nx import command imports the commits all good, however the tags are left on what appears to be a shadow commit tree and new tags are not created or moved over.

Expected Behavior

Tags moved to the new commits, ideally with the project prefix in format which will work with nx release

Steps to Reproduce

1. run nx import importing from a repo with tags
2. View tags on local git, will not be attached to any commit

I'm not even able to get this command to work... I keep getting an NX Cannot find project error when I run nx import [source] [dest], even when I pass it a valid github url....

@ken-playerlync What I did was just run nx import and followed the commands

@DanielRivers was your source project already a nx monorepo project?

HI @jaysoo , I can see you self assigned this, I am wondering if have any idea on resolution, I have approx 10 projects wanting to move into a NX monorepo and holding off until we can import with tags and them work in a way which will work with nx release ideally.

Hi @jaysoo Was this resolved? I been waiting for it.

@jaysoo This is still a problem on 21. Really want to move to nx, but this issue is making migration unfeasible.

Unless there is another way to import projects, with tags which in the right format for nx release
