Subject: [PATCH/RFC v2 0/2] add regex match flags to git describe
Date: Mon, 28 Dec 2015 11:30:22 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1451298323.git.mostynb@opera.com> (raw)

git describe currently only supports glob matching with the --matches flag.
It would be useful to support regular expressions.

For consistency, this uses the same regex flags as those used by git-grep.

Some old discussion of this as a candidate feature is here, though nobody put
together a patch as far as I can see:
