I would like to know if there is any difference between branches and tags. Is it only conceptual - convention to be followed by a developer or some technical difference? e.g. : Is it possible to create immutable tags so that nothing can be checked in to that 'tagged directory'?You are always in full control of your own repository, and have no control over what other people do with their's. So you can't prevent other people from changing the tags in their private repos, but you can prevent them from propagating these changes back to you, or to a central repository you control. But perhaps there is nothing to worry about. I think the git commands won't modify a tag unless you force it. Also, if you use signed tags, you can be sure that they are not silently replaced while still claiming to be tagged by you. -- David Kågedal
