I had understood the current behavior to be a shortcoming rather than desirable behavior. The change this patch introduces is not the stripping of the gpg signature, it is the new ability to _retain_ the properties of a tag object. Current behavior discards everything, including the signature. If people expect the current behavior and would not welcome this new behavior, then maybe a new option is needed, but I'm not convinced yet. I'm thinking that maybe converting a tag object into a light-weight tag should be the special operation (if that is desirable). -brandon -- 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
