Re: How to add daily tags for a central repo?

Hi Michael,

Having these tags seems strange to me. Imagine someone pushing a patch
series one-by-one around midnight, or pushing a commit and, shortly
after, a fixup. You'll end up with a tag pointing to a commit in the middle.

The commit time is totally unreliable, as you noticed, also because
authors may commit locally, then push later.

That being said, if you're really interested in the state of a branch on
the central server at a certain point in time it's easiest to enable
reflogs on the central repository (by setting core.logAllRefUpdates or
enabling individually) and to tag the commit HEAD@{datetimespec} (or
branchname@...). No need for cloning.

Cheers,
Michael

This is what I'm looking for. Thanks a lot.

But I have another question:
How to use the refspec to refer to the reflogs?
Or any alternatives for developer to query this information.

Roy
