When creating a release with git flow like:git flow release finish <branch_name>I'm prompted for a release message. I grepped around to see where this go, but no succes. Any idea?
Where does the git flow release message go?
git;gitflow
It is stored as a tag message. git show <tag>reveals the message. Internally the tag is stored in .git/refs/tags/<tag>. The content of the <tag> file is a hash e.g. b04be91f81ead931b81eb6db72b4ec1179d27d8a. This hash points to a zlib compressed packfile (which is why you couldn't find it via grep), which is stored in .git/objects/b0/4be91f81ead931b81eb6db72b4ec1179d27d8a. To show the contents of the file, you can usegit cat-file -p b04be91f81ead931b81eb6db72b4ec1179d27d8a
