Yes, but a pushed tag `test` pollutes a local `test` name for everybody, whereas `test` as a local branch is just a local branch. A remote `test` branch is only referred via `<remote-name>/test` from a local POV.
- avgcorrection 4y agoIt only pollutes the local repo if you pull it explicitly (or with `--all`) from the remote.
