Description
Many of our company teammates are using the SourceTree as the Git client and it is pretty good in overall.
But regarding the tagging function, we're having a very annoying problem.
Normally we don't make a tag manually by each individual but the CI system makes some tags automatically when a new build is created.
Before we settled down with an agreed convention on tag naming, there were some experimentally created tags and we wanted to clear them out in order not to make an unwanted confusion. It looked just a simple straight forward thing, and removing them from the server and my local working copy was actually done easily.
However, since the Git is a distributed system the old wrong tags were already existed in other coworker's local repositories and because the default status of "Push all tags" option is 'Checked', those old tags were revived so many times when someone didn't sync their local tag with the remote server and pushed his/her commit with this option on, as the people didn't pay much attention on this option status and neither understand correctly what its impact is.
If once this situation happened we had to announce repeatedly to make sure this option is turned off and to sync their local working copy tags.
I'm not so sure how many people are struggling with this issue but it was a surely annoying thing for us.
And so I want to know making its default status as unchecked would be acceptable for other users as well.
Best regards,
Oliver Cho
