Subject: git-describe fails with "--dirty is incompatible with committishes" if passing HEAD as argument
Message-ID: <CAC9WiBjw0W4kLCKMj6HhdjAXOJYpDW2Rgncb+06ahjiYOWtZ8Q@mail.gmail.com>

Hello,

Inside the kernel repository, I tried this:

$ git describe --dirty --match 'v[0-9]*' --abbrev=4 HEAD
fatal: --dirty is incompatible with committishes

If 'HEAD' is removed then git-describe works as expected.

Is that expected ?

Thanks
