You can do tags for arbitrary binary content (not in a tree or commit), and, if you have some way of finding the right tag name, you can fetch that and extract it. I came up with this at my job when we were trying to decide what to do with firmware images that we'd shipped, so that we'd be able to examine them again even if we lose the compiler version we used at the time. We needed an immutable data store with a mapping of tags to objects, and I realized that we already had something with these exact characteristics. -Daniel *This .sig left intentionally blank* - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
