Hi,

Le 03.04.2013 16:27, Thomas Rast a =C3=A9crit=C2=A0:

This puzzled me a lot, so I try various configuration:
- I was able to create an annotated tag on an annotated tag (this can=20
be recursively)

   git tag -a -m "tagged a tag" test_tag_tag v1.8.2
   git show test_tag_tag

- I was able to tag a file

   git tag -a -m "tagged a file" test_tag_file `git ls-tree HEAD | awk=20
'{ print $3; exit; }'`
   git show test_tag_file
   git show -p test_tag_file


Is there any other kind of object that can be tagged ... and what is=20
the purpose of this ?


Regards.
