From: Jonh Wendell Date: Fri, 12 Sep 2014 14:26:42 GMT Subject: [PATCH 0/2] describe: support the syntax "--abbrev=+" Message-ID: <1410532004-22769-1-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+ First patch was sent in Aug 23, re-sending with Signed-off-by and CC'ing Junio.
