The distinction is there for a reason--- annotated tags are meant for the more "public" and "permanent" stuff, while you can do lightweight tags for random short-term stuff. An argument could be to change Git not to follow unannotated tags with "git fetch" and "git push --follow-tags" by default, which goes in the direction to make the distinction even clear. But for a change to make the distinction less useful, I would have to say it is probably a bad idea. -- 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
