Did you actually think I suggested you to make that into a script that cannot be configured? No, it was Junio acquiring a habit from Linus to give a rough outline in a code form in his e-mail client. In another message, you said: > Actually looking a little deeper unless I have misread > the code git-fetch-pack at least will only ask for commit > objects so git fetch will never return a tag object. I thought so but then I tried it and actually it does seem to work as expected (well, it is Linus code so it has to be perfect ;-). I created an empty directory and ran the following script. It creates two commits, tags the later commit to ".git/refs/tags/one", and shows the list of objects the upload-pack (the peer git-fetch-pack talks to) decides to pack and send to the puller that has the first commit only. The first git-rev-list shows one extra object compared to the second one; the difference is the named tag that is being asked. ------------ #!/bin/sh rm -fr .git git-init-db zero_tree=$(git-write-tree) echo "base tree $zero_tree" zero_commit=$( echo Empty tree as the base | git-commit-tree $zero_tree ) echo "base commit $zero_commit" echo >a git-update-cache --add a one_tree=$(git-write-tree) echo "one tree $one_tree" one_commit=$( echo Add one file | git-commit-tree $one_tree -p $zero_commit ) echo "one commit $one_commit" tagger=$(git-var GIT_COMMITTER_IDENT) echo "object $one_commit type commit tag tag-one tagger $tagger just a tag." | git-mktag >.git/refs/tags/one echo "one tag `cat .git/refs/tags/one`" echo "*** reachable from one tag but not from zero" git-rev-list --objects tags/one ^$zero_commit echo "*** reachable from one commit but not from zero" git-rev-list --objects $one_commit ^$zero_commit - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
