It's not like you can't checkout the tag and use git archive to generate a zip, tar.gz or any archive of your choice.
Also, if you need to refer to the source, why not simple have a git submodule. git repo foobar. foo bar relies to meego-super-module tag 2.0, so have your source pull the appropriate tag and treat it as a module. I'm not sure why this is such a big deal either ways. -- Samir On Wed, Mar 31, 2010 at 1:15 PM, Julian Andres Klode <[email protected]> wrote: > On Wed, Mar 31, 2010 at 12:07:11PM -0700, Greg KH wrote: >> On Wed, Mar 31, 2010 at 08:48:52PM +0200, Julian Andres Klode wrote: >> > On Wed, Mar 31, 2010 at 07:41:26PM +0100, Peter Robinson wrote: >> > > > It's there when you select a branch in the web ui, see e.g. >> > > > http://gitorious.org/meego/meego-rpm-config/commits/master >> > > > >> > > > For some reason many projects do not have any branches visible in the >> > > > web UI... maybe that's just a matter of time until some crawler at >> > > > gitorious does its magic? >> > > >> > > Yes, its there for head but I can't find the same for each tagged >> > > release.
