Dear Gilles,

I noticed that "git describe" does not provide helpful information for
the Xenomai repository.

For the current code (tagged as v2.5.4) I still get:

	-> git describe
	v2.5.1-349-gf8fa381

Only with the "--tags" option I get the expected result:

	-> git describe --tags
	v2.5.4

The behaviour changes from version to version:

	-> git describe v2.5.0
	fatal: No annotated tags can describe 'fddf7831dc53cce70b7196314cbd0b3aec028350'.
	However, there were unannotated tags: try --tags.
	-> git describe v2.5.1
	v2.5.1
	-> git describe v2.5.2
	v2.5.1-142-g6b3e8f2
	-> git describe v2.5.3
	v2.5.1-232-g55bf2d3
	-> git describe v2.5.4
	v2.5.1-349-gf8fa381


My recommendation is to always annotate release tags to avoid such
confusion.  Thanks.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
