Create a Tag

This article describes what you need to do to, in order to create a new tag for controller_software.
Mainly you'll need to do so, because one of the PO's requested a new tag.
After you created a new tag, the filename of a new build created by buildbot will also be affected.

Following commands can be used to create a new tag:

git tag -a <tag> <commit> -m "<commit_message>"
git push --tags

Substitute <tag> to your desired tagname.
<commit> is the hashcode of the commit, where the tag should point to.
Provide a meaningful commit_message.

This example was used to create a new tag for branch 5.29_Maintenance.

~/meta/controller_software > git tag -a 5.29.3 990b7ea4ed2f9a5e4f63625248cee3ba89ca1e28 -m "Setting to 5.29.3 for new customers" 
~/meta/controller_software > git push --tags

Optional:
If your tag pointing to a commit, which hasn't been uprefed yet, then you need to add and commit the changes of controller_software in the meta_project as well.

~/meta > git commit controller_software -m "upref new tag 5.29.3" 
~/meta > git push
