If there would be a free bit somewhere in a tag object (or so): $ git tag --autopush -ma "This will be pushed along it's commit" T1 This i would understand at a glance! And it is both, explicit on the one and automatic on the other hand. I.e.: work, work, work - commit & tag, hours pass until internet access and then $ if-up-and-push-it-all-and-if-down.sh .. and that would only do 'cd repo && git push'. But having a short look into tag.c does not give much hope on that. Maybe a new file .git/AUTOPUSH to which all SHA-1 to be pushed automatically are simply appended. @ Junio C Hamano <gitster@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Tell git that v*.* and v*.*.* are release tags (one-time set-up). > $ git config --unset-all push.autotag > $ git config --add push.autotag 'v*.*' > $ git config --add push.autotag 'v*.*.*' I will blow that one, one of these days. @ Jeff King <peff@xxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hmm.

I have no idea how common that is I did understand that -m/-F required storage and thus force creation of a tag object. But hey - it's a bit odd, isn't it? (Thinking about it some more it's very convenient that the possibility exists. But it will require more than one glance. You know - that's ok for me, given all those features which will make life easier once they're discovered and understood.) -- Ciao, Steffen sdaoden(*)(gmail.com) () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments -- 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
