Clearifying that would help. For instances I did a push with v2.6.23:refs/heads/linus and now I got a branch with the SHA1 of v2.6.23 tag(0b8bc8b91cf6befea20fe78b90367ca7b61cfa0d) in it. Makes gitk display that branch as "linus^{}". > > Second, why not "git checkout -b linus v2.6.23 && git push origin linus"? An extra checkout that takes time but works. Doesn't make the above "weiredness" go away though.
