Something seems to be assuming that all tags are commits. Which is not true. You can have (and the kernel repo does this) a tag pointing to a pure tree state (with no history), or as in the case of git itself, there's a tag pointing to a blob that contains Junio's public key. > The situation is similar with the git tree: > > error: Object a0e7d36193b96f552073558acf5fcc1f10528917 is a blob, not a commit Yeah, same thing. > Is this something I should be worried about? No, but if it still happens with a newer git, holler. Linus
