Sorry but I fail to see the reason why you would have to move or delete the git tag if there are commits under a tags directory. I assume that your reasoning is that otherwise checking out the tag from svn and checking out the tag from git would give different results, but that's the reason for having the tags/tagname branch, not for shuffling the git tag around. -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta - 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
