Thanks for posting my dropped message. Apparently the gmail Android app doesn't do plain text. I understand that parsing the reflog message may not be future-proof, but I'm going to go for it. I think that will be more reliable than trying to track the tag name externally. Having the reflog message show up for a "-b" clone would be helpful, but it will be easy enough for me to clone HEAD, then immediately checkout the tag of interest. Thanks again for the suggestion, would've never thought use the reflog. -- 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
