https://groups.google.com/d/topic/git-users/3vfn2i5T2ow/discussion By the way, it's probably a bad idea giving your branches the same names as your tags. If you have a tag for the release version 1.5, and you want a to base a branch on it, it's better to call it something like 1.5.x, to better express the "movement" in the branch. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
