From 487b04411d625ff912543e4313a3343db62429e4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Junio C Hamano Date: Thu, 23 Jun 2011 09:38:48 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] glossary: update description of "tag" It is an unimportant implementation detail that ref namespaces are implemented as subdirectories of $GIT_DIR/refs. What is more important is that tags are in refs/tags hierarchy in the ref namespace. Also note that a tag can point at an object of arbitrary type, not limited to commit.
