From: Jonh Wendell Date: Sat, 23 Aug 2014 17:13:20 GMT Subject: [PATCH 0/2] describe: support the syntax "--abbrev=+" Message-ID: <1408814002-6553-1-git-send-email-jonh.wendell@gmail.com> Sometimes it's interesting to have a simple output that answers the question: Are there commits after the latest tag? One possible solution is to just print a "+" (plus) signal after the tag. Example: > git describe --abbrev=1 5261ec5d5 v2.1.0-rc1-2-g5261ec > git describe --abbrev=+ 5261ec5d5 v2.1.0-rc1+ Jonh Wendell (2): describe: support the syntax "--abbrev=+" describe: Add documentation for "--abbrev=+" Documentation/git-describe.txt | 6 ++++++ builtin/describe.c | 26 +++++++++++++++++++++----- 2 files changed, 27 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) -- 1.9.3
