What is "tag or drop"? Git has tags but it does not have anything known by the name "drop". What did you mean? As to tags, a tag is a symbolic name which can be attached to object of any type in a Git repository. Most often tags are attached to commits but really they can refer to any sort of object: a tree or a blob. Branches are also named objects pointing at commits, but contrary to branches, tags do not move: if you check out a tag, you will end up in a situation known as "detached HEAD", that is, any commit recorded in that state will not move forward any branch - precisely because no branch were checked out to begin with. Tags are most often used to identify "interesting" commits - such as releases of the piece of software maintained in a repository. Tags might be cryptographically signed (using PGP), and this allows strict verification of the authenticity of the state of software in the tagged commit. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
