In git, tags and branches are both very light-weight bookmark-like concepts. The differences are as follows: - both can be pushed/pulled, but tags have a single global namespace - while branches are namespaced by a remote repo name - when you checkout a branch and then commit something, you automatically move the branch to point to the new commit as its HEAD - when you checkout a tag you're in "detached HEAD mode"; adding a commit leaves you in the same mode -- the tag doesn't "move" or change Nico -- _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
