I don't see a good reason to delete the tags. They take virtually no storage, and are mostly accurate except for the extra files. Last but not least, they're a great help when browsing through history since most repo viewers will annotate commits with the tag or branch if one or more exists (for example, the GTK_2_16_0 tag on this page: http://git.gnome.org/cgit/gtk+/log/?ofs=50) cheers, Kristian _______________________________________________ gnome-i18n mailing list gnome-i18n@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-i18n
