Hi, In the asf infra slack channel, I asked about github branch protection, and was told the default protection is set for: refs/heads/trunk refs/heads/master refs/heads/rel/ refs/tags/rel/
I noticed that the tags in uimaj and uimafit github projects are named omitting the /rel/ parts, e.g.: refs/tags/uimafit-3.0.0 which you can see if you clone the repo, and then do a "git ls-remote --tags". Does this mean that we need to rename the tags to include the /rel/ segment? I found a reference on the lucene hadoop mailing list, here https://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/UPDATE-New-ASF-git-policy-on-force-pushes-Tags-Stale-branches-td4250858.html which says that once a vote passes, the release tag has to be pushed to a name with /rel/ in it, in order to be protected. I'm beginning to draft a new web-page for uima, on how to release with git... which will include this bit. Meanwhile, none of our previous releases that came over from SVN were named this way, so they're not protected, but perhaps that's not too important, because they're in SVN in read-only status. WDYT? -Marshall
