Subject: describe fails on tagless branch
Date: Wed, 07 Feb 2007 01:23:38 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <eqb660$ft7$1@sea.gmane.org> (raw)



try 

  git init
  echo hoi > a
  git add a
  git commit -m 'add a' a
  git describe

this yields


[lilydev@haring t]$ git describe
fatal: cannot describe '3b26396bbb5f18580ffd4bc31f70ef0738ec73d6'


I would prefer it if an implicit tag INIT was supposed at the start of the
history, so we'd get

  INIT-3b2...
