Did you read:
https://git-scm.com/docs/git-tag
Specifically the portion regarding re-use of Git Tags?
What about the project that decides to change the contents of their archive
and re-uses
the exact same URL when re-posting? How is that different? If it's the
same thing,
what are we doing about it? What is the impact to Fedora if we did happen
to discover an
application which re-used the same tag?
I think disqualifying the use of widely used feature because a handful of
ignorant people
may be abusing it, isn't appropriate.
If I encountered a project that was doing that (and I never have), I would
point them to
the Git link above and tell them stop it. It isn't acceptable and reflects
rather poorly on them.
