So I can't create a local tag on public heads (the ones I'm pushing out), can I ? > I don't think lightweight tags are more local than tag objects > (please correct me if I'm wrong; I think this needs more doc) Perhaps it needs documents which are more user friendly: I don't know where the 'lightweight' word is coming from (perhaps from the implementation) but I would expect that the _local_ term appears in the git-tag manual. > It's just that the latter reside in the object db > store whereas the former are simple refs under refs/tags. That's implementation detail... I just need to create a local tag where I'm sure it won't be seen by others whatever the git operations I'm doing, normally a simple "git tag" switch should be enough... thanks. -- Francis -- 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
