I don't like moving or deleting tags, so I have the following taginfo script:
#!/bin/sh ## ## do not allow anyone to move or delete tags ## if [ $2 = "mov" ] ; then echo "--->Please do not try to move or change existing tags." exit 1 fi if [ $2 = "del" ] ; then echo "--->Please do not try to delete tags." exit 1 fi On Fri, Nov 30, 2001 at 12:03:22PM -0500, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Subject: Re: How to bring a branch back on a file when the tag has been moved > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Prabhu Ram) > Date: Fri, 30 Nov 2001 11:01:52 -0500 (EST) > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Larry Jones) > > Prabhu Ram writes: > > > > We have a branch on which dev. was taking place and someone accidentally > > moved the tag (which is also the branch name) to the tip of the branch.
