From: Ping Yin Date: Thu, 10 Apr 2008 14:45:29 GMT Subject: [PATCH] git-submodule: Avoid 'fatal: cannot describe' message Message-ID: <1207838729-5567-1-git-send-email-pkufranky@gmail.com> When "git submodule status" command tries to show the name of the submodule HEAD revision more descriptively, but the submodule repository lacked a suitable tag to do so, it leaked "fatal: cannot describe" message to the UI. Squelch it by using '--always'.
