Ovale was recently migrated from SVN to GIT on CurseForge. I'd like to re-tag the repository so that I can see which commit points are for which old releases. I'm worried that if I add the tags now, even if I use GIT_COMMITTER_DATE to set the backdate the tags, that the packager will pick them up and try to make new packages for these old tags. Is this something I should be worried about? What's the best way for me to restore some of the tag/branch history?
and construct your tags so that they don't match that pattern. I've not tried it, but I'd expect that this would let you apply tags without generating packages.
After spending a day and half working on this with Torhal's help, it seems like the answer is to hold off on retagging the commits until we have a new packager. I'll just keep a separate checkout with all of the tags added and when we eventually get a new packager, I'll push the tags to CurseForge.
