The default update-hook prevents them (if enabled), and I can't for the life of me think of why anyone would want to distribute such tags. OTOH, preventing unannotated tags from being pushed seems like a better way than to not have the ability to auto-follow those same tags. After all, it's better to discourage than to disallow. -- Andreas Ericsson andreas.ericsson@op5.se OP5 AB www.op5.se Tel: +46 8-230225 Fax: +46 8-230231
