Subject: Suggestion: drop 'g' in git-describe suffix
Date: Thu, 02 Nov 2006 02:23:04 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <eibh94$t7n$1@sea.gmane.org> (raw)


hi,

the convention to use a 'g' in the output of git-describe, eg.

   [lilydev@haring lilypond]$ git describe --abbrev=39
   lilypond_2_9_7-g47778d2297276484c861fc7536da13feb2d5fe8


is confusing: the g is also a hex digit, and without reading the manual 
carefully, you'd think this is the commit g4777.

Proposal: why not use

   tag#sha1

or some other non-hex character.
