7 bup-tag - tag a commit in the bup repository
13 bup tag [-f] \<tag name\> \<committish\>
15 bup tag -d [-f] \<tag name\>
19 `bup tag` lists, creates or deletes a tag in the bup repository.
21 A tag is an easy way to retrieve a specific commit. It can be used to mark a
22 specific backup for easier retrieval later.
24 When called without any arguments, the command lists all tags that can
25 be found in the repository. When called with a tag name and a commit ID
26 or ref name, it creates a new tag with the given name, if it doesn't
27 already exist, that points to the commit given in the second argument. When
28 called with '-d' and a tag name, it removes the given tag, if it exists.
30 bup exposes the contents of backups with current tags, via any command that
31 lists or shows backups. They can be found under the /.tag directory. For
32 example, the 'ftp' command will show the tag named 'tag1' under /.tag/tag1.
40 : Overwrite the named tag even if it already exists. With -f, don't
41 report a missing tag as an error.
