How to clone a specific Git tag

by

From git-clone(1) Manual Page

--branch can also take tags and detaches the HEAD at that commit in the resulting repository.

I tried 

git clone --branch <tag_name> <repo_url>

But it does not work. It returns: 

warning: Remote branch 2.13.0 not found in upstream origin, using HEAD instead

How to use this parameter?
