Subject: Since when is a tag a commit?
Date: Mon, 7 Aug 2006 22:12:51 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060808021251.GA19548@spearce.org> (raw)
Current `next`:
[spearce@pb15 git]$ git cat-file commit v1.4.1
tree 34c8f9c263c1c20592d3f56c3d86bea322577155
parent 6631c73685bea3c6300938f4900db0d0c6bee457
author Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> 1151691633 -0700
committer Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net> 1151803695 -0700
...
Uhhh, that's a tag. I know it is:
[spearce@pb15 git]$ git cat-file tag v1.4.1
object 0556a11a0df6b4119e01aa77dfb795561e62eb34
type commit
tag v1.4.1
tagger Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net> 1151818415 -0700
...
And I know its not a tree:
[spearce@pb15 git]$ git cat-file tree v1.4.1
100644 .gitignore{?MX~ă????y?v?X?u100644 COPYINGo?...
So it better not be a blob:
[spearce@pb15 git]$ git cat-file blob v1.4.1
fatal: git-cat-file v1.4.1: bad file
What the heck is going on? Since when did git cat-file happily
consider a tag to be a tag, a commit and a tree? Its that
intentional that we're peeling back the object to the requested type?
