After my message this morning, that's what I did: I commited with the mock data then tag. Tonight, I just tried something which do exactly what I wanted to do this morning: $ git checkout -b temp $ git commit -a -m 'My config file with mock_data=true' $ git tag -a v0.1 -m v0.1 $ git checkout master $ git branch -D temp With these commands, the tag is associated to a commit which is not in any branch.
