Option to tag hotfix with another tag name

[MattLishman]

When I finish a hotfix, it would be nice to have the option to "Choose tag name" rather than using the branch name.

This could be an input that pops up and let's you type the tag name. Similar to the "Custom hotfix commit message" dialog.

How would you do the same with the command line gitflow?

[MattLishman]

I can't find how to do this in a normal gitflow workflow. Unless anyone else can, feel free to close it if it isn't suitable and I will re open if the feature exists in the future.

It's odd that gitflow doesn't support this.

You can always suggest a feature to gitflow AVH: https://github.com/petervanderdoes/gitflow-avh

If it ever gets implemented in git flow I'll be sure to include that in gitflow4idea as well!

[MattLishman]

Thanks. Good idea, I will do.

I think that this issue can be reopened. It can be done using git flow hotfix finish -T. Is it possible do reopen this enhacement?

[OpherV]

@renanwilliam Thanks for pointing this out!

Hi @OpherV any news on the subject?

[OpherV]

@renanwilliam @Flowster I just finished a huge refactor to easy allow flags like this. So now the question is how to tackle UI for this feature - because I assume you don't want to custom-tag every release. How do you envision this?

[renanwilliam]

@OpherV I think that can have a flag like 'Custom Hotfix Tags' in plugin general configuration. If it turned on, a pop-up that will be displayed for tag message will have a extra-field for tag name.

I understand that this feature is already delivered and the issue can be closed now
