I ran git show-ref --tags and refs/tags/v2.6.1 is pointing to a nonexistent hash fdcdd095f3b721485bee6c4b61f101e52aeecc88, and it caused issues like this.

It's an annotated tag referring to 2b1a284f8453baa2bd193709b67e5183074c74ba.

I ran git clone -b fdcdd095f3b721485bee6c4b61f101e52aeecc88 https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk.git and failed.
Maybe it's a bug on GitHub?

Maybe it's a bug on GitHub?

Most likely. GitHub doesn't appear to always correctly propagate tag information from its web UI to git, so I think this will have to be fixed on a local repository and then pushed back, if that's even possible at this point.

I also got a warning when directly cloning the tag.

You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental
changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this
state without impacting any branches by switching back to a branch.

If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may
do so (now or later) by using -c with the switch command. Example:

  git switch -c <new-branch-name>

Or undo this operation with:

  git switch -

Turn off this advice by setting config variable advice.detachedHead to false

no idea what happened there; are the other tags working as expected?

Some programs are unable to properly handle git tags, which has caused some issues. In any case, I don't think this is a problem with dxvk.
Sorry for wasting everyone's time and effort.
