Hi,
in the linux-manpages repository at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/docs/man-pages/man-pages , running git
describe on the current HEAD (8482c7b836) produces
fatal: No annotated tags can describe
'8482c7b836a66f874e7dfea9c35fee4a82ad817b'.
However, there were unannotated tags: try --tags.
Which seems strange, given there is an annotated tag:
(.git/refs/packed-refs)

This is man-pages-3.29

Ready for 3.29
So what caused git 1.7.1 to get confused here?
thanks,
Jan

Hi,
must have been fixed in a later version, as it works for me:
$ git describe
man-pages-3.29-49-g8409222
$ git --version
git version 1.7.3.2

Forget about my first answer.
git-describe shows the most recent tag that is reachable from a commit, but
80786722b116f5002c28e9e0200044f825b236f6 isn't reachable when your HEAD is
at 8482c7b836a66f874e7dfea9c35fee4a82ad817b.
As git says, there's only an unannotated tag:
$ git describe
fatal: No annotated tags can describe '8482c7b836a66f874e7dfea9c35fee4a82ad817b'.
However, there were unannotated tags: try --tags.
$ git describe --tags
man-pages-2.25-30-g8482c7b

Ah damn, I jumped around with git checkout before, creating detached heads.
All right, false alarm, but thanks for the heads up.
