Hi,

I'm not sure if this is a bug, so I'm asking.

The frugalware project (git repo:
http://frugalware.org/git/pub/frugalware/frugalware-current ) has the
two latest tags 1.3 and 1.4pre1, somehow git describe HEAD now mentions
1.3 and not 1.4pre1 in the output.

To be more exact:

$ git rev-parse --short HEAD
f25435f

$ git rev-list 1.4pre1..|wc -l
871

So I would exepct 1.4pre1-871-gf25435f. In fact, the output is:

$ git describe
1.3-3028-gf25435f

Or in case I force the usage of the latest tag:

$ git describe --candidate 1
1.4pre1-64725-gf25435f

Does anyone have an idea what's going wrong here?

Thanks.
