Which is useful thing to have. I'll kindly ask you again: please read my messages completely and carefully. I gave up the idea of reducing tag objects to referencing commits two messages ago. That was one simple, early, and insufficient suggestion of mine to address the bug. It is no longer brought forward. The bug itself (references to 'deleted' or 'replaced' tag objects remain reachable rather than becoming dangling) is still there without a suggestion to the solution, and you're uselessly the bug. I may be wrong, but I do believe you still haven't understood my report - this may well be a problem in my way of phrasing it. So let's try this: If you do not understand parts of the problem, please ask specific questions. If you do not understand enough of this problem to ask such questions, please ignore this thread. Please do not waste someone else's time by keeping up a discussion of arguments I've withdrawn hours ago. I'm not going to repeat earlier reasons either. -- Matthias Andree
