- tag: Create the tag ref
|
||||
|
||||
After we've implemented refs in the previous change, it's time to create a ref
|
||||
when the user creates a tag.
|
||||
|
||||
`create_tag` now calls update_ref with the tag name to actually create the tag.
|
||||
|
||||
For namespacing purposes, we'll put all tags under *refs/tags/*. That is, if the
|
||||
user creates *my-cool-commit* tag, we'll create *refs/tags/my-cool-commit* ref
|
||||
to point to the desired OID.
|
||||
|
||||
Then we'll update *data.py* to handle this "namespaced" ref. Since we can't have
|
||||
a / in the file name, we'll create directories for it. Now if a ref
|
||||
*refs/tags/sometag* is created, it will be placed under *.ugit/refs/tags* in a
|
||||
file named *sometag*.
|
||||
|
||||
To verify that this code works, you can run:
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ ugit tag test
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
And make sure that the tag points to HEAD:
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ cat .ugit/refs/tags/test
|
||||
$ cat .ugit/HEAD
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The last two commands should give the same output.
