Hi!


john@doe:/workspace$ git version
git version 1.6.1
john@doe:/workspace$ git describe
fatal: cannot describe '7aee61cc635a923e70b74091486742481ee0928b'
john@doe:/workspace$ git describe --always
7aee61c
john@doe:/workspace$ git describe --always --abbrev=8
7aee61cc


man git-describe:

  --abbrev=<n>
      Instead of using the default 8 hexadecimal digits as the
      abbreviated object name, use <n> digits.



There is one character missing from default or what am I missing?

Thanks,
Martin
