Subject: [boost] [git] nit in library release documentation
From: Peter A. Bigot (pab_at_[hidden])

At
https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/StartModMaint#Lightweightlibraryrelease
there is:

git tag -a mylib-1.2.0
git push --tags mylib-1.2.0 # specific tag pushed to avoid pushing
all local tags

As discussed in a thread on module tagging, --tags should never be used
with git push as it pushes all local tags to the remote repository
(adding those that did not exist there).

There are cases where you might want to do that, but for the specific
situation of releasing a tagged library a sufficient and less risky
command is:

git push mylib-1.2.0 # specific tag pushed to avoid pushing all local
tags

Peter
