I might be wrong, but I think the behavior (at least, the default
behavior) is to log the past values of a tag into the corresponding file
in .git/logs/tags.  But it's possible that sufficiently old values
recorded in the log file are eventually removed.

[git-users] Will GIT allow me to do this?? show tag history and where it was pinned on to which branch in the past

2016-04-24 Thread Andrew Acevedo


I'm not familiar with git, but can the same tag be moved around on several 
branches and a history is kept which position on the branch it's been 
pinned too before?


I have 4 customers on the same program but on different versions. e.g 
Customer A, Customer B etc.

 

Customer A has version 10 of helloworld.cpp

Customer B has version 4 of helloworld.cpp

 

Customer B requires an urgent hot fix on top of version 4 for 
helloworld.cpp and can’t take the latest version 10.


Using this setup in mind,

http://nvie.com/files/Git-branching-model.pdf

 

 Is it possible to setup git to show at a glance which version they are all 
up too?

and using tags to keep track of the earlier versions which was released to 
customers. So that I can determine quickly which version Customer B had 
before it had version 4, so that I can quickly roll back if necessary to 
their earliest version?

 

I have searched for tag examples for a commit but havent seen any setup 
which moves tags across branches etc or an organised way of doing it.

 

Thanks

Andrew

[git-users] subdir from one big repo as subdir to anouther

2016-04-24 Thread worobow
In my ovn repository I use the library from another giant repository. This 
library is simply a subdirectory of the source code. Not as submodule. 
Volume of source code of the huge repository is several gigabytes. The 
volume of the source code such I use as library is only 50 kilobytes. How 
do I connect this subdirectory from the huge repository to my repository, 
and so that does not carry with them these few gigabytes??
