In Git, what is the purpose of a tag?

To create a new branch for development

To store large files outside the repository

To automatically merge changes from one branch to another

To mark a specific commit as important, such as a release version

A software team uses Git tags to mark releases. They want to ensure that tags are created only from the main branch and only by release managers. They also want to prevent accidental deletion of tags. What should you configure in Azure Repos?

Use a pre-push hook to check the branch name and tag permissions to allow only the Release Managers group to create tags.

Use a branch policy on main to require a reviewer from the Release Managers group, and set tag permissions to allow all developers to create tags.

Set branch permissions on main to allow only the Release Managers group to push, and set tag permissions to allow only the Release Managers group to create tags.

Set tag permissions to allow only the Release Managers group to create and delete tags.

A company uses an on-premises Git server and cannot install Git LFS due to policy restrictions. They have a repository with large binary assets that are slowing down clones. They want to use git-fat to manage these files. A developer accidentally deleted a large file from the working directory and needs to recover it. What should you do?

Configure git-fat with a remote store, track the large files with .gitfat attributes, and use 'git fat pull' to retrieve the deleted file.

Re-clone the repository and hope the file is present in the clone.

Use 'git fat init' and then 'git fat push' to recover the file.

Use 'git checkout -- ' to restore the file from the Git object database.

A company has a large monorepo with many binary assets. They are considering using Scalar to improve performance, but they also need to manage the binary assets. What is the best approach?

Use git-fat instead of Git LFS and Scalar.

Use Scalar with full clone and no LFS.

Use only Git LFS and disable Scalar.

Use Scalar with partial clone and sparse checkout, and use Git LFS for the binary assets.
