From: Michal Novotny <clime@redhat.com> To: git@vger.kernel.org Subject: allow "~" to be present in a tag name Date: Tue, 13 Mar 2018 09:11:49 +0100 Message-ID: <CANT8FXTF41-4zvqvrEek262D8OZRhA4nsiPguyNTL9mwF1+mkg@mail.gmail.com> (raw) Hello, currently, if I try to create a tag that has tilde "~" in name, an error is raised. E.g. $ git tag rpkg-util-1.4~rc1 fatal: 'rpkg-util-1.4~rc1' is not a valid tag name. Now, actually it would be very cool if tilde was allowed in a tag name because we would like to use it for tagging pre-releases of (not-only rpm) packages. Is there some deep technical reason why tilde cannot be present in a tag name? I tried that e.g. git tag rpkg-util-1.4%rc1 but percentage sign does not seem to be particular fitting for pre-release marking. Thank you clime
