Subject: strange result of `git describe` while bisecting
Date: Fri, 12 Jun 2015 15:00:27 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150612130027.GA19711@frolo.macqel> (raw)
Hi,
I am bisecting the kernel tree between v3.17 and v3.18, and 'git describe'
is used by the kernel compilation process. Why do I get a version
v3.17-rc7-1626-ga4b4a2b, that seems outside of [v3.17..v3.18] ?
To reproduce :
git bisect start
git bisect bad v3.18
git bisect good v3.17
Bisecting: 6197 revisions left to test after this (roughly 13 steps)
[754c780953397dd5ee5191b7b3ca67e09088ce7a] Merge branch 'for-v3.18' of git://git.linaro.org/people/mszyprowski/linux-dma-mapping
git describe
v3.17-6163-g754c780
git bisect bad
Bisecting: 3086 revisions left to test after this (roughly 12 steps)
[4a4743e840d06a5772be7c21110807165c5b3c9f] Merge tag 'fixes-nc-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm/arm-soc
git describe
v3.17-3076-g4a4743e
git bisect good
Bisecting: 1506 revisions left to test after this (roughly 11 steps)
[a4b4a2b7f98a45c71a906b1126cabea6446a9905] Merge tag 'master-2014-10-02' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linville/wireless-next
git describe
v3.17-rc7-1626-ga4b4a2b
