I am using git-flow to manage a project. I am getting the following message when issuing git flow release
finish foo:
fatal: no tag message?
Tagging failed. Please run finish again to retry.
Here is the sequence of steps to reproduce, with a brand new git repository and a single file:
touch test.txt
git init
git add .
git commit -m "Initial commit"
git flow init
[defaults accepted]
git flow release start 1.0
echo "Line 1" >> test.txt
git add .
git commit -am "Line added"
git flow release finish '1.0'
At this point, error message above pops up, and Vim is called up to add a tag. When I add the tag and save, I end up on the master branch, with the release/1.0 branch still existing. Any ideas what is going wrong? Git flow version is 0.4.1.
Thank you.
