Subject: Getting the commit that corresponds to a specific annotated tag
Adam MercerHi
For some porcelain I'm writing I need to determine the commit that corresponds to a given annotated tag, so far I have the following:
$ git cat-file tag <tag_name> | grep object | awk '{print $2}'Is there already some pluming that performs this task?
Cheers
Adam

git rev-parse $tag^{commit}It's kind of scary, though.

Ahh, I get you. Porcelain was probably the wrong word...
