Hi,
git describe does not seam to apply the pattern given by the --match option in case the tag is a soft one. Is that done intentionally?
In addition I wonder if it was possible to introduce an option that would show all tags of a given commit, at least when --exact-match is specified too?
At the moment I'm using git log --decorate in a script to get the above result. Part of the script looks something like this:
mytags=`git log --pretty=oneline --max-count=1\
--decorate $commit\
| awk '
/.*\/tags\/V1\..*/ {
sub("^.*[(]","")
gsub("tag: ","")
sub("[)].*","")
gsub(" ","") split($0, tl, ",")
for (var in tl)
{
if (tl[var] ~ /refs\/tags/ && tl[var] ~ V1){
sub("refs/tags/","",tl[var])
print tl[var]
}
}
}
'`Since that is quite clumsy. I would like to use git describe which almost does what I need.
Cheers, Michael
