IOW, if the command was something like git filter-branch ...filter options... -- v1.0 master ... and v1.0 is an annotated tag, then it is reasonable to expect v1.0 to be deleted if the commit it points to goes away. But if the commit did not go away, but was rewritten, then it is equally reasonable to expect that the tag is also rewritten. But I don't think that we currently do the latter. Therefore, IMO, a change that implements the former behavior should also implement the latter behavior. -- Hannes -- 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
