The whole git-stuff is off-topic. Most people here don't care. But we do
care about releasing lazarus and fpc versions. And both the Lazarus team
and the fpc-team merged changes to a tag to make this happen.

And that's the thing you are attacking, merging to tags. The latest
Lazarus release was a usefull example of this, but fpc used this also.

You can state that 'thou shoudn't do that'. I want to point out is that
the two largest OS-projects I know did use this trick. (And we're not
alone)

And you are all making fuzz about this being illogical and such, but you
have only worked with tiny os-projects like tiOPF and fpGUI. Well, I can
live according to some stupid rules for such small projects also. But we
are talking about more complex things here.

As pointed out even in the git-documentation: these cases happen.
