I was very much under the impression git is not designed with repeated tag replication in consideration. The git tag documentation very much implies that any tag having its reference changed will result in effort being required of everyone who wishes to consume that tag. ( It literally brands the act of re-tagging things to be "insane" ) Tags are very much intended to be immutable references to commits. If you need mutable references to commits, isn't that what branches are for? -- Kent KENTNL - https://metacpan.org/author/KENTNL
