This bit is fine by me.
It would be a bit pointless without the second part. If we decide
against it, list-branches is probably the better choice.
So I wonder what other people think.
Dmitry> And return tags together with branches in the Git implementation.
I am not so sure about this. I've never (literally never) wanted to
check out a tag with Git. I do sometimes check out a specific revision.
Me neither, but... people do use tags to mark specific, *important*
revisions. And supposedly check them out sometimes (maybe to see the
exact code the "current production" version has?).
I do check out specific revisions sometimes too, but providing
completion for that is fairly impossible. Completing tags seems like the
next best thing.
But... the UI doesn't prohibit this, it just only offers branches for
completion. I tend to think that's the most useful.
Branches are most useful indeed.
Another idea would be to add a defcustom for this.
I don't imagine having tags in there would really hurt, even if we don't
pick them. IME tags usually follow a particular naming convention, so
they won't interfere with completion.
