History of !branch

• A branch and a tag are just convenient ways of spelling the name of a particular commit. A commit represents a specific set of files and the history of all commits which came before it, and the SHA-1 hash tag official name provides cryptographic assurance of the lineage of a particular commit (and thus branch or tag). A branch's reference may change. A tag usually doesn't.
