Hi.
I have question about release branches and release tags. For the current
git mirror, we do have release tags living on release branches. Example:
commit 64e1a4df1bc9dbf4cedb3a842c4eaff6b3425a66

That's when I do git log parent/gcc-9-branch (git log
origin/releases/gcc-9 respectively).
And git log releases/gcc-9.2.0:

I see it useful to have the release tags on release branches.
Thoughts?
Martin
SVN makes tags using copy operations. By default this tends to result
in the copies hanging off the side of the main branch and so the tags
are not in a particularly git-friendly location. Reposurgeon has code
now to try to spot this and collapse them back to the branch revision
they were copied from. I think Joseph's next candidate conversion
should show this fixed.
However, some CVS-era tags cannot be fixed up in this way because of
slight differences in the content between the branch and the tag
(tagging was not an atomic operation and race conditions meant that
changes were being made to the repo while the tag was taking place). For
those cases the tag will always be on a side branch.
Anyway, please check Joseph's next candidate to see if this shows what
you expect -- I think it should be out later today.
R.
