I had a same question :) what I want is to distribute a git version across some team. I maintain a clone and keep the latest tag checkedout. When ever there is a new release (tag), I switch to master branch and pull. Than I checkout the new tag and compile. Is there any simple way to do this w/o any downtime?. There should be .... I just miss some extra knowledge on git. Thanks in advance for suggestions
