[QUESTION] Why i cannot tag 1.0.0 if i have "re-inited" my new "master" to a new branch?

Hi there.

First, i'm not an expert, but congrats for this project.

I have done some tests with merges from develop to master wth tags successfully, i use this steps:

git checkout develop
git flow release start $VERSION
git add .
git flow release finish -F -m "Tag" $VERSION
git checkout master && git push origin master
git push origin $VERSION
git checkout develop && git push origin develop

Now, if i do a

git flow init -f to change the "master" brach to another branch, i cannot tag 1.0.0 version if i was used 1.0.0 version in default master branch.

I want to have a 1.0.0 tag in many branches, basically.

Can i archieve this goal in any way?

When you add tag, it is not git flow specific tag, it is ordinary git tag. Git tags are not related to branches. It is a separate tree. So, you cannot create 2 same name tags in a single repository. This is the limitation of Git itself.
