From eea9c1e78ffd878cbaaf2c1e346e186a1e58a460 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Denton Liu Date: Thu, 4 Apr 2019 11:25:15 -0700 Subject: tag: advise on nested tags MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Robert Dailey reported confusion on the mailing list about a nested tag which was most likely created by mistake. Jeff King noted that this isn't a very common case and creating a tag-to-a-tag can be a user-error. Suggest that it may be a mistake with an advice message when creating such a tag. Those who do want to create a tag that point at another tag regularly can turn it off with the usual advice mechanism.
