From: John Stean Date: Fri, 08 Mar 2013 15:16:03 GMT Subject: question re tags Message-ID: <25720629.116.1362755762863.JavaMail.User@LANE15-HP> Ive been tagging some commits using tortoise git , for example with "v1.0", "v1.1" etc. In tortoise git log the tag sits alongside the commit as I expect. But when I do a git describe it outputs the first tag along with the latest commit. What am I doing wrong?
