Subject: git push tags
Date: Thu, 25 Oct 2012 08:58:02 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAB9Jk9DMOwhDf3SvMzTmTZiyZg_4pgXx-evrfWkB3U4w-KqtVw@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hello,
git push tag updates silently the specified tag. E.g.
git init --bare release.git
git clone release.git integrator
cd integrator
git branch -avv
touch f1; git add f1; git commit -m A
git tag v1
git push origin tag v1
touch f2; git add f2; git commit -m B
git tag -f v1
git push origin tag v1
the second git push updates the tag in the remote repository. This is
somehow counterintuitive because tags normally do not move (unless
forced to that), and is not documented.
This is also harmful because it allows to change silently something
(tags) that normally must not change.
