If a tag that gitk knows about is deleted and recreated with a different message, gitk still shows the old message after any combination of refresh, reload, and reread refs. git-gui version 0.13.0.8.g8f85 Reproduce: 1. git tag -a test -m "foo" HEAD 2. Open gitk, see that correct message ("foo") is present for tag "test" 3. git tag -d test 4. Reload/refresh gitk [optional, it won't make a difference] 5. git tag -a test -m "bar" HEAD 6. Reload/refresh gitk 7. See that the message on tag "test" is still "foo" 8. $ git show test # shows correct message "bar" Apologies if this is an old version or a known bug; I could not find an issue tracker to search, although I did check the gmane archives. - Tim McCormack -- 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
