Unstable v3.15-rc tags

Unstable v3.15-rc tags

[WorMzy Tykashi]

Hi David,

The v3.15-rc{2,3,4} tags seem to have disappeared from the unstable
repo in the last day or so. Please could you re-push the tags, or were
they removed for a reason?

Cheers,


WorMzy

The tags were meant to mark the points in time where different groups of
patches were added to the to-be-v3.15, but then I noticed that one of
the patches had my note in the subject and Qu sent an updated version
anyway. So I had rebased the branch and all the tags became stale. I did
not bother to move them as they did not work as expected.

The patch flux is the good and bad habit of the integration repository.

Ah, thanks for clarifying. I wasn't particularly attached to the tags,
it just seemed odd that we got to rc4, then dropped back down to rc1.
I'll not pay too much attention to them in future.

It certainly makes for an interesting chart in gitk --all. :-D
