Yes, their "git fetch" will auto-follow, but mergetag embedded in the commit objects will give the history auditable trail the same way as the merges you make your downstream. You of course could match out-of-line tags against back-merges and verify your merges with mergetags, but you do not have to. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
