NAME

       bup-tag - tag a commit in the bup repository

SYNOPSIS

       bup tag

       bup tag [-f] <tag name> <committish>

       bup tag -d [-f] <tag name>

DESCRIPTION

       bup tag lists, creates or deletes a tag in the bup repository.

       A  tag is an easy way to retrieve a specific commit.  It can be used to mark a specific backup for easier
       retrieval later.

       When called without any arguments, the command lists all tags that can be found in the repository.   When
       called  with  a  tag  name  and  a commit ID or ref name, it creates a new tag with the given name, if it
       doesn't already exist, that points to the commit given in the second argument.  When called with '-d' and
       a tag name, it removes the given tag, if it exists.

       bup exposes the contents of backups with current tags, via any command that lists or shows backups.  They
       can be found under the /.tag directory.  For example, the 'ftp' command will show the  tag  named  'tag1'
       under /.tag/tag1.

OPTIONS

       -d, --delete
              delete a tag

       -f, --force
              Overwrite  the  named  tag  even  if it already exists.  With -f, don't report a missing tag as an
              error.

EXAMPLES

              $ bup tag new-puppet-version hostx-backup

              $ bup tag
              new-puppet-version

              $ bup ftp "ls /.tag/new-puppet-version"
              files..

              $ bup tag -d new-puppet-version
