Robert Dailey reported confusion on the mailing list about a nested tag which was most likely created by mistake. Jeff King noted that this isn't a very common case and creating a tag-to-a-tag can be a user-error. Suggest that it may be a mistake with an advice message when creating such a tag. Those who do want to create a tag that point at another tag regularly can turn it off with the usual advice mechanism.

|
These variables control various optional help messages designed to
|
|
aid new users. All 'advice.*' variables default to 'true', and you
|
|
can tell Git that you do not need help by setting these to 'false':

--
|
|
pushUpdateRejected::
|
|
Set this variable to 'false' if you want to disable
|
|
'pushNonFFCurrent',
|
|
'pushNonFFMatching', 'pushAlreadyExists',
|
|
'pushFetchFirst', and 'pushNeedsForce'
|
|
simultaneously.
|
|
pushNonFFCurrent::
|
|
Advice shown when linkgit:git-push[1] fails due to a
|
|
non-fast-forward update to the current branch.
|
|
pushNonFFMatching::
|
|
Advice shown when you ran linkgit:git-push[1] and pushed
|
|
'matching refs' explicitly (i.e. you used ':', or
|
|
specified a refspec that isn't your current branch) and
|
|
it resulted in a non-fast-forward error.
|
|
pushAlreadyExists::
|
|
Shown when linkgit:git-push[1] rejects an update that
|
|
does not qualify for fast-forwarding (e.g., a tag.)
|
|
pushFetchFirst::
|
|
Shown when linkgit:git-push[1] rejects an update that
|
|
tries to overwrite a remote ref that points at an
|
|
object we do not have.

pushNeedsForce::
|
|
Shown when linkgit:git-push[1] rejects an update that
|
|
tries to overwrite a remote ref that points at an
|
|
object that is not a commit-ish, or make the remote
|
|
ref point at an object that is not a commit-ish.
|
|
pushUnqualifiedRefname::
|
|
Shown when linkgit:git-push[1] gives up trying to
|
|
guess based on the source and destination refs what
|
|
remote ref namespace the source belongs in, but where
|
|
we can still suggest that the user push to either
|
|
refs/heads/* or refs/tags/* based on the type of the
|
|
source object.
|
|
statusHints::
|
|
Show directions on how to proceed from the current
|
|
state in the output of linkgit:git-status[1], in

linkgit:git-commit[1], and in the help message shown
|
|
by linkgit:git-checkout[1] when switching branch.
|
|
statusUoption::

Advise to consider using the `-u` option to linkgit:git-status[1]

|
when the command takes more than 2 seconds to enumerate untracked
|
|
files.
|
|
commitBeforeMerge::
|
|
Advice shown when linkgit:git-merge[1] refuses to
|
|
merge to avoid overwriting local changes.
|
|
resetQuiet::
|
|
Advice to consider using the `--quiet` option to linkgit:git-reset[1]

|
|
move to the detach HEAD state, to instruct how to create
|
|
a local branch after the fact.
|
|
checkoutAmbiguousRemoteBranchName::
|
|
Advice shown when the argument to
|
|
linkgit:git-checkout[1] ambiguously resolves to a
|
|
remote tracking branch on more than one remote in
|
|
situations where an unambiguous argument would have
|
|
otherwise caused a remote-tracking branch to be
|
|
checked out. See the `checkout.defaultRemote`
|
|
configuration variable for how to set a given remote
|
|
to used by default in some situations where this
|
|
advice would be printed.
