Dear Stephen Warren,
In message 5076FB24.1080600@wwwdotorg.org you wrote:
True, tags can be moved. However, the point wasn't that they're immutable, but that using them can decouple the pull process from the commit process. For example, I could:
git checkout -b foo bar git am git am git am git tag -s tag1 foo send pull request not wait for pull to complete git am git am git am git tag -s tag2 foo send pull request
What do you need tags here for? The git commit ID's itself will be as good.
On contrary - using your proposed style, you sill just pollute the tag namespace with tons of more or less random tags.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
