You shouldn't be answering everybody who ask "How do I shoot my foot off? git-foo command does not seem to let me do so" with "Here is how to do that". > $ git update-ref refs/blargh HEAD At least, please say "that thing is no longer a tag, many git commands would complain because refs/blargh does not have two-levels, and do not ever think about starting that thing without 'refs/', or your 'gc' may end up losing that object" when you give a potentially dangerous hint like that (the last one being the most important). -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
