Re: [egit-dev] No visual feedback on chosen tag

[Thomas Hallgren <thomas@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Manuel,

Thanks for the clarification. And indeed, a tag check out gives me the correct decoration (would be nice if it was 
available in the context menu).

I still think there's room for improvement though. The normal case is that you work with the head of a branch. If you 
reset to something else, then what you have in your workspace is somewhat out of the ordinary and I think some visible 
feedback to indicate this is called for. So let me rephrase what I wrote in the subject to:

"No visual feedback that indicates that what I have isn't the head"
