Hi Dave, Tags and named branches serve a different purposes, and we take advantage of them both. Tags identify a commit somewhere in the history that does not change, such as the "v4.0.0" tag. Named branches are also identifiers, but they reference the tip of a branch, which is typically a moving target. Examples include the shared "master" and "release" named branches or the temporary named branches used for topic development.
