git tag -u feature request

Hans Ginzel· May 6, 2015, 06:09 UTC · lore

Hello,

please, would it be possible to add -u option to git tag for updating tag (with message) to a new commit, e.g. after rebase.

See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8044583/how-can-i-move-a-tag-on-a-git-branch-to-a-different-commit

Thank you, Hans

As the answer http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8044583/how-can-i-move-a-tag-on-a-git-branch-to-a-different-commit/8044605#8044605 says: there is the `-f` flag.

It is appropriate to call the flag `--force` rather than `--update` because the social contract of tags is that they do not change.

Ciao, Johannes
