Re: Update -A on WD from branch

[Jeeva Sarma]

Hi
Guess my earlier question was confusing.

I wanted to know how to commit from a working
directory
checked out from a tag(ordinary tag, not branch
tag),but which is made on a branch.How do I get rid of
the sticky tag in this case?And then how do I commit?
Thanks,
Jeeva Sarma
