Well, if i checked out a linux-next related branch i'd expect those tags to go live, but if i stayed on -git i'd expect only Linus's tags to live. I would not expect the linux-next tags to go away altogether - i added it as a remote, so i'd expect to see 'its' tags when i check it out. at least that's my naive expectation from a 'remote' repository - if there's a better way to think about this then i'm eager to improve :-) Thanks, Ingo -- 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
