Hello,
Basically doing: git describe --abbrev=0 <sha1> gives the closest tag from <sha1>
I would expect adding "--contains" option would give the closest tag containing <sha1> but it seems that --abbrev=0 has no more effect in that case:
$ git describe --tags --contains --abbrev=0 7f285fa78d4b81b8458f05e77fb6b46245121b4e v2.6.35-rc5~14^2~4
Is that expected ?
Thanks
