[PATCH] describe: fall back to 'HEAD' if no appropriate tag exists

From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>
Date: Sep 20, 2006, 21:25 UTC
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.63.0609202324210.19042@wbgn013.biozentrum.uni-wuerzburg.de>

Now, if no tag exists to say something like '<tag>-gfffffff', say 'HEAD-gfffffff' instead of erroring out.
