Hi Eric,

there are now some stale tags

Are you planning on rewinding those tags to point to something more
appropriate?  And if so, please post the new SHA1 of the tags.

libtool.git; stale browser cache?).

Either I'm misunderstanding you, or you're looking in the wrong place (an old http://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=libtool.git;a=commit;h=2bbe5d looks like the

the right destination for release-2-2-2 to me, and indeed

http://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=libtool.git;a=commit;h=724f291 shows me a

"403 Forbidden - Unknown commit object" error.

Gary, since you released 2.2.2, would you mind matching the convention of other

savannah git projects and do:

$ git tag -s -m 2.2.2 v2.2.2 724f2912
$ git push origin refs/tags/v2.2.2

I'd be happy to run:

  $ git tag -s -m 2.2.2 v2.2.2 2bbe5d
  $ git push origin refs/tags/v2.2.2

If you agree that is the right thing to do?

That way, gnulib's git-version-gen script will produce a meaningful output on libtool (even though we are not presently using git-version-gen in the libtool bootstrap). I'd do it, but then the gnupg signature would be mine instead of

yours.

Playing devil's advocate:


anymore:

If Libtool moves to git-version-gen ala Autoconf, it won't be possible to do this a-machine-with-git$ git-clone http://git.sv.gnu.org/libtool.git libtool

  a-machine-with-git$ scp libtool [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
  a-machine-with-git$ ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED]
  some-machine-without-git$ cd libtool
  some-machine-without-git$ ./bootstrap

Which is apparently a common usage pattern for some users.

Cheers,
        Gary
