Subject: git describe is failing
Date: Thu, 22 Oct 2009 10:47:10 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <76c5b8580910220747w709d2b41s4f7b121e421e843c@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi,

I have a test repo which I'm playing with. It has about 15 commits and
one branch only (master) and couple of tags. Somehow it got to a state
when

$ git describe

gives:

fatal: cannot describe 'SHA-1'

The command is working ok with my other repo. It doesn't seem that the
test repo is corrupted. I can commit, push and pull, see the history
with gitk... How can I check or repair it?

Thanks,
Eugene
