No, it is a nonsense to unconditionally forbid fast-forwards to refs outside refs/heads/ hierarchy. I was imagining a more general feature to allow the *user* to ask Git not to fast-forward some refs (not limited to refs/tags/) during a push. If such a general feature were in place, you can think of your patch as automatically making the user to ask Git not to fast-forward refs in refs/tags/, which would be a mere special case of it. And I was wondering if such a general feature makes sense. -- 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
