Hey Kevin!
Git branches are a history of commits (= changes), but AFAIK no history is tracked anywhere for npm tags. The npm tag is only a stateless pointer without any history. Like a git tag ;)
Haha yes I could have been more clear. I was just trying to be succinct on the train ride home. My point was that similar to git branches, npm tags are dynamic and moveable (latest and next will point to different versions as time varies, just like master would for git), whereas npm versions are fixed and unchanging, similar to how you would use git tags (e.g. v1.0.0).
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
