There are two types of tags that exist. Tags that reflect when CVS "branches" were made, and tags that reflect the "make tag" action of a maintainer, presumably as part of a build process. F-12-split is a tag that indicates at what point the "F-12" directory on the CVS server was created, and on the F-12 branch there would be an 'F-12-start' tag as well. The build tags exist on whichever branch they were made from. As for branches, there are 2 kinds of branches. One kind has the form of "F-12" or "EL-5" and that reflects the CVS directory in dist-cvs. These are generated by infrastructure, and it will likely not be possible to create branches in this form in git by yourself. The other kind of branch is private-* type branches, which were real CVS branches that allowed developers to work on stuff without messing up HEAD. We'll likely continue to allow remote branches of a specific pretext, such as private- if you wish to work with multiple people on a branch. Otherwise git allows you infinite number of local branches to do your work. -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- Freedom² is a feature! identi.ca: http://identi.ca/jkeating
