That's excellent news Dirk! That means the process I want to follow will work perfectly. Since I tag as I checkout from a branch, my tag will apply to that entire branch at that point in time. That way, when I later check out by tag, I will have that branch at that point in time. In the past, we've used the same labels on different branches, though. But since github tags aren't a respecter of branches, I'll have to just use a different naming schema in dev branches vs. the prod branch. So for dev, I might have 1.0.0.1.1, 1.0.0.1.2, 1.0.0.1.3, and then when that gets merged to the master, I'd build 1.0.0.1. Does this strategy make sense? Thanks! Eric
