Instead of a separate file for each tag, why not something like logs/TAGS, which just records tag creations. The downside is it wouldn't represent a *continuous state* of anything in particular, because you can create tags for any commit while on any (other) branch. I'm not smart enough to figure out the implications of that across the entire system. -- 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
