Subject: git describe oddity: ignoring recent tags...
Date: Mon, 23 Nov 2009 13:01:51 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <46a038f90911230401sb2b1dd7u21b5d7edefe510eb@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Clone this repo: git://dev.laptop.org/projects/olpc-update -- or just
check visually the recent history here
http://dev.laptop.org/git/projects/olpc-update/log/

git describe origin/master will respond olpc-update-2.16-20-g2d4e4b8
when it is fairly clear to me that it should be
olpc-update-2.19-1g<hash>.

For some reason, recent tags are being ignored -- and cgit even
displays them differently in
http://dev.laptop.org/git/projects/olpc-update/log/ though it is
unclear to me why.

These tags are not 'lightweight', and no tags are signed either.
Passing --tags and --debug has not helped much.

Tested with 1.6.0.6 (Fedora 9 rpm) and 1.6.3.1.26.gf5b223 (on Karmic).
