Briefly (consider using git-flow): I created a repository, generated my feature, created a release, finished the release, consulted the branch develop log, and had output:
commit a6676da74f99342dd85e50e1251fd662d0be2680
Merge: 2c4958f 82190a0
Author: Your Name <[email protected]>
Date: Wed Apr 11 19:13:37 2018 +0000
Merge tag 'v1.0.0' into develop
v1.0.0
commit 82190a041c9b3909a94fc74f47675fe0cae0d5de
Merge: f09850e 2c4958f
Author: Your Name <[email protected]>
Date: Wed Apr 11 19:13:28 2018 +0000
Merge branch 'release/v1.0.0'
So I understand the commit 82190a041c9b3909a94fc74f47675fe0cae0d5de
is the merge of the branch release, since a6676da74f99342dd85e50e1251fd662d0be2680
would be a merge of the commit referenced by the tag v1.0.0, is this understanding correct?
