My question is, how can I share objects with another repository without a direct connection? If I create patches with git-format-patch I am loosing the commit id informations, so the copied tags loose their target too. I want to be able to distribute changes by e-mail without loosing the sha1 ids. (Just dump copying the .git/object files and updateing the .git/refs only cause errors - I did not grab the source codes enough to understand the connections) Thanks, Tobias Sarnowski
