There are many repos where a tag changes\nin time and so tags are often used as they were branches where you\ndevelop on.\n\n> - If branches + trunk end up in refs/remotes then my bare repo /\n> gateway doesn't work well - -refs/remotes aren't cloned or fetched\n> \n> - gitweb refuses to show those heads/tags (maybe it's because it's an\n> old version?)\n> \n[ Not sure about this, but could it be that gitweb never shows branches\n under refs/remotes ? ]\n\n-Peter\n"}]}
