Yes, it is, and I used it to show that there is a need to specify explicitly the intent to change a tag, that without such an indication would not be changed. >Tags have many uses. Some of those uses are harmed when tags change and some aren't. That's a philosophical argument I agree, but in this case the computer does not provide any means to implement the same strategy on tags as it does instead on local repositories. Why I must force a change on a tag in the local repository and instead I can change it without any forcing in a remote one? Are remote repositories less protected than the local ones? I think that to be consistent, the same strategy should be used on all repositories, i.e. rejecting changes on tags by default, unless they are forced. -Angelo > -- > -Drew Northup > -------------------------------------------------------------- > "As opposed to vegetable or mineral error?" > -John Pescatore, SANS NewsBites Vol. 12 Num. 59 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
