Add a "git-describe" command It shows you the most recent tag that is reachable from a particular commit is. Maybe this is something that "git-name-rev" should be taught to do, instead of having a separate command for it. Regardless, I find it useful. What it does is to take any random commit, and "name" it by looking up the most recent commit that is tagged and reachable from that commit. If the match is exact, it will just print out that ref-name directly. Otherwise it will print out the ref-name, followed by the 8-character "short SHA". IOW, with something like Junios current tree, I get: [torvalds@g5 git]$ git-describe parent refs/tags/v1.0.4-g2414721b ie the current head of my "parent" branch (ie Junio) is based on v1.0.4, but since it has a few commits on top of that, it has added the git hash of the thing to the end: "-g" + 8-char shorthand for the commit 2414721b194453f058079d897d13c4e377f92dc6. Doing a "git-describe" on a tag-name will just show the full tag path: [torvalds@g5 git]$ git-describe v1.0.4 refs/tags/v1.0.4 unless there are _other_ tags pointing to that commit, in which case it will just choose one at random. This is useful for two things: - automatic version naming in Makefiles, for example. We could use it in git itself: when doing "git --version", we could use this to give a much more useful description of exactly what version was installed. - for any random commit (say, you use "gitk <pathname>" or "git-whatchanged" to look at what has changed in some file), you can figure out what the last version of the repo was. Ie, say I find a bug in commit 39ca371c45b04cd50d0974030ae051906fc516b6, I just do: [torvalds@g5 linux]$ git-describe 39ca371c45b04cd50d0974030ae051906fc516b6 refs/tags/v2.6.14-rc4-g39ca371c and I now know that it was _not_ in v2.6.14-rc4, but was presumably in v2.6.14-rc5.

#include "refs.h"
Chose better tag names in git-describe after merges. Recently git.git itself encountered a situation on its master and next branches where git-describe stopped reporting 'v1.5.0-rc0-gN' and instead started reporting 'v1.4.4.4-gN'. This appeared to be a backward jump in version numbering. maint o-------------------4 \ \ master o-o-o-o-o-o-o-5-o-C-o-W The issue is that commit C in the diagram claims it is version 1.5.0, as the tag v1.5.0 is placed on commit 5. Yet commit W claims it is version 1.4.4.4 as the tag v1.5.0 has an older tag date than the v1.4.4.4 tag. As it turns out this situation is very common. A bug fix applied to maint and later merged into master occurs frequently enough that it should Just Work Right(tm). Rather than taking the first tag that gets found git-describe will now generate a list of all possible tags and select the one which has the most number of commits in common with HEAD (or whatever revision the user requested the description of). This rule is based on the principle shown in the diagram above. There are a large number of commits on the primary development branch 'master' which do not appear in the 'maint' branch, and many of these are already tagged as part of v1.5.0-rc0. Additionally these commits are not in v1.4.4.4, as they are part of the v1.5.0 release still being developed. The v1.5.0-rc0 tag is more descriptive of W than v1.4.4.4 is, and therefore should be used. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

There are a large number of commits on the primary development branch 'master' which do not appear in the 'maint' branch, and many of these are already tagged as part of v1.5.0-rc0. Additionally these commits are not in v1.4.4.4, as they are part of the v1.5.0 release still being developed. The v1.5.0-rc0 tag is more descriptive of W than v1.4.4.4 is, and therefore should be used. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

Add a "git-describe" command It shows you the most recent tag that is reachable from a particular commit is. Maybe this is something that "git-name-rev" should be taught to do, instead of having a separate command for it. Regardless, I find it useful. What it does is to take any random commit, and "name" it by looking up the most recent commit that is tagged and reachable from that commit. If the match is exact, it will just print out that ref-name directly. Otherwise it will print out the ref-name, followed by the 8-character "short SHA".

Chose better tag names in git-describe after merges. Recently git.git itself encountered a situation on its master and next branches where git-describe stopped reporting 'v1.5.0-rc0-gN' and instead started reporting 'v1.4.4.4-gN'. This appeared to be a backward jump in version numbering. maint o-------------------4 \ \ master o-o-o-o-o-o-o-5-o-C-o-W The issue is that commit C in the diagram claims it is version 1.5.0, as the tag v1.5.0 is placed on commit 5. Yet commit W claims it is version 1.4.4.4 as the tag v1.5.0 has an older tag date than the v1.4.4.4 tag. As it turns out this situation is very common. A bug fix applied to maint and later merged into master occurs frequently enough that it should Just Work Right(tm). Rather than taking the first tag that gets found git-describe will now generate a list of all possible tags and select the one which has the most number of commits in common with HEAD (or whatever revision the user requested the description of). This rule is based on the principle shown in the diagram above. There are a large number of commits on the primary development branch 'master' which do not appear in the 'maint' branch, and many of these are already tagged as part of v1.5.0-rc0. Additionally these commits are not in v1.4.4.4, as they are part of the v1.5.0 release still being developed.

Chose better tag names in git-describe after merges. Recently git.git itself encountered a situation on its master and next branches where git-describe stopped reporting 'v1.5.0-rc0-gN' and instead started reporting 'v1.4.4.4-gN'. This appeared to be a backward jump in version numbering. maint o-------------------4 \ \ master o-o-o-o-o-o-o-5-o-C-o-W The issue is that commit C in the diagram claims it is version 1.5.0, as the tag v1.5.0 is placed on commit 5. Yet commit W claims it is version 1.4.4.4 as the tag v1.5.0 has an older tag date than the v1.4.4.4 tag. As it turns out this situation is very common. A bug fix applied to maint and later merged into master occurs frequently enough that it should Just Work Right(tm). Rather than taking the first tag that gets found git-describe will now generate a list of all possible tags and select the one which has the most number of commits in common with HEAD (or whatever revision the user requested the description of). This rule is based on the principle shown in the diagram above. There are a large number of commits on the primary development branch 'master' which do not appear in the 'maint' branch, and many of these are already tagged as part of v1.5.0-rc0. Additionally these commits are not in v1.4.4.4, as they are part of the v1.5.0 release still being developed. The v1.5.0-rc0 tag is more descriptive of W than v1.4.4.4 is, and therefore should be used. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

Add a "git-describe" command It shows you the most recent tag that is reachable from a particular commit is. Maybe this is something that "git-name-rev" should be taught to do, instead of having a separate command for it. Regardless, I find it useful. What it does is to take any random commit, and "name" it by looking up the most recent commit that is tagged and reachable from that commit. If the match is exact, it will just print out that ref-name directly. Otherwise it will print out the ref-name, followed by the 8-character "short SHA". IOW, with something like Junios current tree, I get: [torvalds@g5 git]$ git-describe parent refs/tags/v1.0.4-g2414721b ie the current head of my "parent" branch (ie Junio) is based on v1.0.4, but since it has a few commits on top of that, it has added the git hash of the thing to the end: "-g" + 8-char shorthand for the commit 2414721b194453f058079d897d13c4e377f92dc6. Doing a "git-describe" on a tag-name will just show the full tag path: [torvalds@g5 git]$ git-describe v1.0.4 refs/tags/v1.0.4 unless there are _other_ tags pointing to that commit, in which case it will just choose one at random. This is useful for two things: - automatic version naming in Makefiles, for example. We could use it in git itself: when doing "git --version", we could use this to give a much more useful description of exactly what version was installed. - for any random commit (say, you use "gitk <pathname>" or "git-whatchanged" to look at what has changed in some file), you can figure out what the last version of the repo was. Ie, say I find a bug in commit 39ca371c45b04cd50d0974030ae051906fc516b6, I just do: [torvalds@g5 linux]$ git-describe 39ca371c45b04cd50d0974030ae051906fc516b6 refs/tags/v2.6.14-rc4-g39ca371c and I now know that it was _not_ in v2.6.14-rc4, but was presumably in v2.6.14-rc5.
