Hi. I'm helping some guys to migrate from SVN to Git. They are facing some obstacles, and I'm learning new things about SVN and Git while helping them solve those problems :)
It happened that in a repo there was a tag and a branch with the same name. Leaving SVN aside for a moment, I quickly build up a Git repo on my personal Gitlab server to replicate this scenario, then I cloned it. Supposing there are a branch and a tag called <something>, when I do: $ git checkout something Git checks out the tag <something>, and not the branch. Furthermore, it leaves me in a detached HEAD state. So, I'm looking for documentation about this behavior, and I'm wondering if there's a way to prefer branches over tags or other options I can set. It's only for my knowledge, not a real problem in fact :) Thanks, Nando -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
