Subject: Why git tags are there in git?
Date: Fri, 28 Jan 2011 03:37:56 -0800 (PST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1296214676536-5969544.post@n2.nabble.com> (raw)
Hello friends
I am wondering why the tags are there in git. As they are just pointer to
the commit
we can refer those commit by SHA sum only then why tagging? Moreover a
commit can
be tagged more than once that result in multiple tags pointing to the same
point in the history.
Is this a design flaw?
