Git tags should not be overwritten

[qezz]

Overwriting Git tags, also known as "re-tagging", is not the best idea.
This article has good explanation - https://git-scm.com/docs/git-tag#_on_re_tagging

Please don't use tags like latest. If you need a moving label for master branch, this is what Git branches are for.

It's been some time since I complained on the issue. Fortunately, since then we (Chorus One) have published a book on Open Source Engineering, where this particular problem is described.

It's a good read, and I can recommend it to all blockchain engineers

@okedeji @mgladson @kihahu

can one of you take a look at this? I don't think we're still doing this?

I don't have context to see if we can close this ticket or not

[qezz]

I think it's still relevant

[relyt29]

I think we finally stopped doing this, we have new processes for releases if you'll look now, the last "latest" was three weeks ago

and on top of that I have now deleted it

➜  allora-chain git:(dev) git push --delete origin latest
To github:allora-network/allora-chain
 - [deleted]           latest

Thanks for flagging this
