Hello all,
Tags also cannot be moved; that is the point - they always point to the same version.
I agree, they *shouldn't* be moved and are not designed to be. You can however delete and re-create them, which would be sufficient for our purpose since all we want is a single name that can move along with the releases.
Tags are really not designed with this in mind, so weird things can and do happen if you do this sort of thing.
There are robust solutions to this generic issue. They usually revolve around a particular workflow. The most popular one is git-flow; see e.g. https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/comparing-workflows for a good overview.
I'm not necessarily advocating that th ET change workflow, but it could be worth considering.
