You can have a tag foo and branch foo. - "git checkout foo" would switch you to foo branch - Anything else that lets you use an abbreviated refname 'foo', e.g. . git branch newbranch foo . git log foo . git diff foo will scold you that 'foo' is ambiguous, while it does not outright fail, and takes the first match from the list defined in sha1_name.c (ref_fmt[]), so a tag wins over a branch. You can clarify yourself to avoid ambiguity like so: . git branch newbranch heads/foo ;# I mean "branch from foo branch" . git log tags/foo ;# "show history starting at that tag" - 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
