Urgh. I think I like this idea even less. just use the tag 'tagname' and move it around then :) BTW can git have a tag and a branch with the same name? If not, I would recomment the use of 'name' for the tag, 'name-branch' for the branch, and 'tag-name-branch' for the branch under the tag. > > I've been looking through the git-svn code to see if I could try an > > implementation myself, but I must confess that the task seems way over > > me ...

The only two svn projects I cooperate with don't have this particular situation.
