BTW, the best way IMHO to archive old refs is to clone your repo (with all tags/branches) to a backup disk, and then regularly push (git push --all && git push --tags) your new tags/branches to this backup. You are now free to delete these tags/branches from your work repo (they will not be deleted from the backup unless you use "git push --mirror"). And if you ever need to retrieve an old tag/branch, it's just a matter of pulling it from the backup repo. Nice, clean, flexible, and requires no changes to git. Have fun! :) ...Johan -- Johan Herland, <johan@xxxxxxxxxxx> www.herland.net -- 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
