Please > someone correct me if I am wrong. Yes, this should be the case, i.e. besides creating a tag, also to create a branch from the same underlying revision. Yes, that will lead to proliferation of branches (just as proliferation of tags is often the problem for may projects), but let's treat that as temporary solution while we settle this issue. We might end up with something else, or make policy to clean up old branches/tags after good timeout. In the meantime, I posted about the problem to repo mailing list (cc: linaro-dev), initial response was positive, so maybe it would be fixed on repo side. > > --john -- Best Regards, Paul Linaro.org | Open source software for ARM SoCs Follow Linaro: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Linaro http://twitter.com/#!/linaroorg - http://www.linaro.org/linaro-blog _______________________________________________ linaro-dev mailing list linaro-dev@lists.linaro.org http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-dev
