There is no reason for these operations to be expensive, so they aren't. Branches and tags are both implemented in terms of an underlying "copy" operation. A copy takes up a small, constant amount of space. Any copy is a tag; and if you start committing on a copy, then it's a branch as well. (This does away with CVS's "branch-point tagging", by removing the distinction that made branch-point tags necessary in the first place.)" --4Ckj6UjgE2iN1+kY Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.1 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFECdLzAud/2YgchcQRAtRsAJwOIMuj/FSTiqltz3B+VQYG4LXrnwCgwu+F X76XchGzQEqtLw0+iwFoavU= =+guD -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --4Ckj6UjgE2iN1+kY--
