pep., the tagging for xep-0389-v0.3.0 and xep-0333-v0.4.0 is wrong

the tags should point at the commit which writes the revision block

ah

Won't do this now but I can change it later

no

tags can’t be changed

jonas’, because we have a policy that we do not change them, or?

flow, no, because changing tags with git isn’t really a thing you can do

that is news to me

there’s a whole section "On Re-tagging" in the git-tag manpage

If you never pushed anything out, just re-tag it. Use "-f" to replace the old one. And you’re done.

but then it goes on to list all the things which go wrong when you do it after pushing

well the list boils down to "git does not automatically update tag refs the same way it does update branch refs"

it’s like force push, but worse ✏

yeah
