Issues when deploying a moving tags on a git repo
Reported by Brian Takita | May 2nd, 2008 @ 07:48 PM
On our project, we have a setup where we deploy from the current tag of the lower level environment.
For example, every time our ci build passed, we move a stable_current tag to the passing version.
When we deploy to demo, we deploy from the stable_current tag and move the demo_current tag when successful.
When we deploy from staging, we deploy from the demo_current tag.
And so on.
Unfortunately, capistrano creates a local version of the revision, which causes the next pull to create an ambiguous reference.
I'll try to create a patch soon.

We are using a different strategy now (using timestamped tags), which ends up working better anyways.
This is no longer an issue for us.
