如何使用连接到最新发行版标签的mercurial或git子存储库？

Question

I am looking for a solution that would allow me to use subrepositories that are getting not the HEAD and instead a specific RELEASE tag, or if possible the latest tag.

Is this possible, how should I implement this? Did anyone implemented this?

I don't know about git , but Mercurial sub-repositories don't link to the head of the sub-repository but to a specific revision.

To set the revision of a sub-repository, you update it to the revision that you want (in your case a specific tag) and then commit the main repository. That then links the main repository to the specific revision of the sub-repository.

A good guide on Mercurial sub-repositories can be found here and the Mercurial sub-repository documentation is here .
