Add a "git-describe" command It shows you the most recent tag that is reachable from a particular commit is. Maybe this is something that "git-name-rev" should be taught to do, instead of having a separate command for it. Regardless, I find it useful. What it does is to take any random commit, and "name" it by looking up the most recent commit that is tagged and reachable from that commit. If the match is exact, it will just print out that ref-name directly. Otherwise it will print out the ref-name, followed by the 8-character "short SHA". IOW, with something like Junios current tree, I get: [torvalds@g5 git]$ git-describe parent refs/tags/v1.0.4-g2414721b ie the current head of my "parent" branch (ie Junio) is based on v1.0.4, but since it has a few commits on top of that, it has added the git hash of the thing to the end: "-g" + 8-char shorthand for the commit 2414721b194453f058079d897d13c4e377f92dc6. Doing a "git-describe" on a tag-name will just show the full tag path: [torvalds@g5 git]$ git-describe v1.0.4 refs/tags/v1.0.4 unless there are _other_ tags pointing to that commit, in which case it will just choose one at random. This is useful for two things: - automatic version naming in Makefiles, for example. We could use it in git itself: when doing "git --version", we could use this to give a much more useful description of exactly what version was installed. - for any random commit (say, you use "gitk <pathname>" or "git-whatchanged" to look at what has changed in some file), you can figure out what the last version of the repo was. Ie, say I find a bug in commit 39ca371c45b04cd50d0974030ae051906fc516b6, I just do: [torvalds@g5 linux]$ git-describe 39ca371c45b04cd50d0974030ae051906fc516b6 refs/tags/v2.6.14-rc4-g39ca371c and I now know that it was _not_ in v2.6.14-rc4, but was presumably in v2.6.14-rc5.

Teach "git describe" --dirty option With the --dirty option, git describe works on HEAD but append s"-dirty" iff the contents of the work tree differs from HEAD. E.g. $ git describe --dirty v1.6.5-15-gc274db7 $ echo >> Makefile $ git describe --dirty v1.6.5-15-gc274db7-dirty The --dirty option can also be used to specify what is appended, instead of the default string "-dirty". $ git describe --dirty=.mod v1.6.5-15-gc274db7.mod Many build scripts use `git describe` to produce a version number based on the description of HEAD (on which the work tree is based) + saying that if the build contains uncommitted changes. This patch helps the writing of such scripts since `git describe --dirty` does directly the intended thing. Three possiblities were considered while discussing this new feature: 1. Describe the work tree by default and describe HEAD only if "HEAD" is explicitly specified Pro: does the right thing by default (both for users and for scripts) Pro: other git commands that works on the work tree by default Con: breaks existing scripts used by the Linux kernel and other projects 2. Use --worktree instead of --dirty Pro: does what it says: "git describe --worktree" describes the work tree Con: other commands do not require a --worktree option when working on the work tree (it often is the default mode for them) Con: unusable with an optional value: "git describe --worktree=.mod" is quite unintuitive. 3. Use --dirty as in this patch Pro: makes sense to specify an optional value (what the dirty mark is) Pro: does not have any of the big cons of previous alternatives * does not break scripts * is not inconsistent with other git commands This patch takes the third approach.

Improve git-describe performance by reducing revision listing. My prior version of git-describe ran very slowly on even reasonably sized projects like git.git and linux.git as it tended to identify a large number of possible tags and then needed to generate the revision list for each of those tags to sort them and select the best tag to describe the input commit. All we really need is the number of commits in the input revision which are not in the tag. We can generate these counts during the revision walking and tag matching loop by assigning a color to each tag and coloring the commits as we walk them. This limits us to identifying no more than 26 possible tags, as there is limited space available within the flags field of struct commit. The limitation of 26 possible tags is hopefully not going to be a problem in real usage, as most projects won't create 26 maintenance releases and merge them back into a development trunk after the development trunk was tagged with a release candidate tag. If that does occur git-describe will start to revert to its old behavior of using the newer maintenance release tag to describe the development trunk, rather than the development trunk's own tag. The suggested workaround would be to retag the development trunk's tip. However since even 26 possible tags can take a while to generate a description for on some projects I'm defaulting the limit to 10 but offering the user --candidates to increase the number of possible matches if they need a more accurate result. I specifically chose 10 for the default as it seems unlikely projects will have more than 10 maintenance releases merged into a development trunk before retagging the development trunk, and it seems to perform about the same on linux.git as v1.4.4.4 git-describe. A large amount of debugging information was also added during the development of this change, so I've left it in to be toggled on with --debug. It may be useful to the end user to help them understand why git-describe took one particular tag over another. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

Chose better tag names in git-describe after merges. Recently git.git itself encountered a situation on its master and next branches where git-describe stopped reporting 'v1.5.0-rc0-gN' and instead started reporting 'v1.4.4.4-gN'. This appeared to be a backward jump in version numbering. maint o-------------------4 \ \ master o-o-o-o-o-o-o-5-o-C-o-W The issue is that commit C in the diagram claims it is version 1.5.0, as the tag v1.5.0 is placed on commit 5. Yet commit W claims it is version 1.4.4.4 as the tag v1.5.0 has an older tag date than the v1.4.4.4 tag. As it turns out this situation is very common. A bug fix applied to maint and later merged into master occurs frequently enough that it should Just Work Right(tm). Rather than taking the first tag that gets found git-describe will now generate a list of all possible tags and select the one which has the most number of commits in common with HEAD (or whatever revision the user requested the description of). This rule is based on the principle shown in the diagram above. There are a large number of commits on the primary development branch 'master' which do not appear in the 'maint' branch, and many of these are already tagged as part of v1.5.0-rc0. Additionally these commits are not in v1.4.4.4, as they are part of the v1.5.0 release still being developed. The v1.5.0-rc0 tag is more descriptive of W than v1.4.4.4 is, and therefore should be used. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

Improve git-describe performance by reducing revision listing. My prior version of git-describe ran very slowly on even reasonably sized projects like git.git and linux.git as it tended to identify a large number of possible tags and then needed to generate the revision list for each of those tags to sort them and select the best tag to describe the input commit. All we really need is the number of commits in the input revision which are not in the tag. We can generate these counts during the revision walking and tag matching loop by assigning a color to each tag and coloring the commits as we walk them. This limits us to identifying no more than 26 possible tags, as there is limited space available within the flags field of struct commit. The limitation of 26 possible tags is hopefully not going to be a problem in real usage, as most projects won't create 26 maintenance releases and merge them back into a development trunk after the development trunk was tagged with a release candidate tag. If that does occur git-describe will start to revert to its old behavior of using the newer maintenance release tag to describe the development trunk, rather than the development trunk's own tag. The suggested workaround would be to retag the development trunk's tip. However since even 26 possible tags can take a while to generate a description for on some projects I'm defaulting the limit to 10 but offering the user --candidates to increase the number of possible matches if they need a more accurate result. I specifically chose 10 for the default as it seems unlikely projects will have more than 10 maintenance releases merged into a development trunk before retagging the development trunk, and it seems to perform about the same on linux.git as v1.4.4.4 git-describe. A large amount of debugging information was also added during the development of this change, so I've left it in to be toggled on with --debug. It may be useful to the end user to help them understand why git-describe took one particular tag over another. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

Compute accurate distances in git-describe before output. My prior change to git-describe attempts to print the distance between the input commit and the best matching tag, but this distance was usually only an estimate as we always aborted revision walking as soon as we overflowed the configured limit on the number of possible tags (as set by --candidates). Displaying an estimated distance is not very useful and can just be downright confusing. Most users (heck, most Git developers) don't immediately understand why this distance differs from the output of common tools such as `git rev-list | wc -l`. Even worse, the estimated distance could change in the future (including decreasing despite no rebase occuring) if we find more possible tags earlier on during traversal. (This could happen if more tags are merged into the branch between queries.) These factors basically make an estimated distance useless. Fortunately we are usually most of the way through an accurate distance computation by the time we abort (due to reaching the current --candidates limit). This means we can simply finish counting out the revisions still in our commit queue to present the accurate distance at the end. The number of commits remaining in the commit queue is probably less than the number of commits already traversed, so finishing out the count is not likely to take very long. This final distance will then always match the output of `git rev-list | wc -l`. We can easily reduce the total number of commits that need to be walked at the end by stopping as soon as all of the commits in the commit queue are flagged as being merged into the already selected best possible tag. If that's true then there are no remaining unseen commits which can contribute to our best possible tag's depth counter, so further traversal is useless. Basic testing on my Mac OS X system shows there is no noticable performance difference between this accurate distance counting version of git-describe and the prior version of git-describe, at least when run on git.git.

Doing a "git-describe" on a tag-name will just show the full tag path: [torvalds@g5 git]$ git-describe v1.0.4 refs/tags/v1.0.4 unless there are _other_ tags pointing to that commit, in which case it will just choose one at random. This is useful for two things: - automatic version naming in Makefiles, for example. We could use it in git itself: when doing "git --version", we could use this to give a much more useful description of exactly what version was installed. - for any random commit (say, you use "gitk <pathname>" or "git-whatchanged" to look at what has changed in some file), you can figure out what the last version of the repo was.

Improve git-describe performance by reducing revision listing. My prior version of git-describe ran very slowly on even reasonably sized projects like git.git and linux.git as it tended to identify a large number of possible tags and then needed to generate the revision list for each of those tags to sort them and select the best tag to describe the input commit. All we really need is the number of commits in the input revision which are not in the tag. We can generate these counts during the revision walking and tag matching loop by assigning a color to each tag and coloring the commits as we walk them. This limits us to identifying no more than 26 possible tags, as there is limited space available within the flags field of struct commit. The limitation of 26 possible tags is hopefully not going to be a problem in real usage, as most projects won't create 26 maintenance releases and merge them back into a development trunk after the development trunk was tagged with a release candidate tag. If that does occur git-describe will start to revert to its old behavior of using the newer maintenance release tag to describe the development trunk, rather than the development trunk's own tag. The suggested workaround would be to retag the development trunk's tip. However since even 26 possible tags can take a while to generate a description for on some projects I'm defaulting the limit to 10 but offering the user --candidates to increase the number of possible matches if they need a more accurate result. I specifically chose 10 for the default as it seems unlikely projects will have more than 10 maintenance releases merged into a development trunk before retagging the development trunk, and it seems to perform about the same on linux.git as v1.4.4.4 git-describe. A large amount of debugging information was also added during the development of this change, so I've left it in to be toggled on with --debug. It may be useful to the end user to help them understand why git-describe took one particular tag over another. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

Chose better tag names in git-describe after merges. Recently git.git itself encountered a situation on its master and next branches where git-describe stopped reporting 'v1.5.0-rc0-gN' and instead started reporting 'v1.4.4.4-gN'. This appeared to be a backward jump in version numbering. maint o-------------------4 \ \ master o-o-o-o-o-o-o-5-o-C-o-W The issue is that commit C in the diagram claims it is version 1.5.0, as the tag v1.5.0 is placed on commit 5. Yet commit W claims it is version 1.4.4.4 as the tag v1.5.0 has an older tag date than the v1.4.4.4 tag. As it turns out this situation is very common. A bug fix applied to maint and later merged into master occurs frequently enough that it should Just Work Right(tm). Rather than taking the first tag that gets found git-describe will now generate a list of all possible tags and select the one which has the most number of commits in common with HEAD (or whatever revision the user requested the description of). This rule is based on the principle shown in the diagram above. There are a large number of commits on the primary development branch 'master' which do not appear in the 'maint' branch, and many of these are already tagged as part of v1.5.0-rc0. Additionally these commits are not in v1.4.4.4, as they are part of the v1.5.0 release still being developed. The v1.5.0-rc0 tag is more descriptive of W than v1.4.4.4 is, and therefore should be used. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

If the match is exact, it will just print out that ref-name directly. Otherwise it will print out the ref-name, followed by the 8-character "short SHA". IOW, with something like Junios current tree, I get: [torvalds@g5 git]$ git-describe parent refs/tags/v1.0.4-g2414721b ie the current head of my "parent" branch (ie Junio) is based on v1.0.4, but since it has a few commits on top of that, it has added the git hash of the thing to the end: "-g" + 8-char shorthand for the commit 2414721b194453f058079d897d13c4e377f92dc6. Doing a "git-describe" on a tag-name will just show the full tag path: [torvalds@g5 git]$ git-describe v1.0.4 refs/tags/v1.0.4 unless there are _other_ tags pointing to that commit, in which case it will just choose one at random. This is useful for two things: - automatic version naming in Makefiles, for example. We could use it in git itself: when doing "git --version", we could use this to give a much more useful description of exactly what version was installed. - for any random commit (say, you use "gitk <pathname>" or "git-whatchanged" to look at what has changed in some file), you can figure out what the last version of the repo was. Ie, say I find a bug in commit 39ca371c45b04cd50d0974030ae051906fc516b6, I just do: [torvalds@g5 linux]$ git-describe 39ca371c45b04cd50d0974030ae051906fc516b6 refs/tags/v2.6.14-rc4-g39ca371c and I now know that it was _not_ in v2.6.14-rc4, but was presumably in v2.6.14-rc5. The latter is useful when you want to see what "version timeframe" a commit happened in. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

Improve git-describe performance by reducing revision listing. My prior version of git-describe ran very slowly on even reasonably sized projects like git.git and linux.git as it tended to identify a large number of possible tags and then needed to generate the revision list for each of those tags to sort them and select the best tag to describe the input commit. All we really need is the number of commits in the input revision which are not in the tag. We can generate these counts during the revision walking and tag matching loop by assigning a color to each tag and coloring the commits as we walk them. This limits us to identifying no more than 26 possible tags, as there is limited space available within the flags field of struct commit. The limitation of 26 possible tags is hopefully not going to be a problem in real usage, as most projects won't create 26 maintenance releases and merge them back into a development trunk after the development trunk was tagged with a release candidate tag. If that does occur git-describe will start to revert to its old behavior of using the newer maintenance release tag to describe the development trunk, rather than the development trunk's own tag. The suggested workaround would be to retag the development trunk's tip. However since even 26 possible tags can take a while to generate a description for on some projects I'm defaulting the limit to 10 but offering the user --candidates to increase the number of possible matches if they need a more accurate result. I specifically chose 10 for the default as it seems unlikely projects will have more than 10 maintenance releases merged into a development trunk before retagging the development trunk, and it seems to perform about the same on linux.git as v1.4.4.4 git-describe. A large amount of debugging information was also added during the development of this change, so I've left it in to be toggled on with --debug.

Chose better tag names in git-describe after merges. Recently git.git itself encountered a situation on its master and next branches where git-describe stopped reporting 'v1.5.0-rc0-gN' and instead started reporting 'v1.4.4.4-gN'. This appeared to be a backward jump in version numbering. maint o-------------------4 \ \ master o-o-o-o-o-o-o-5-o-C-o-W The issue is that commit C in the diagram claims it is version 1.5.0, as the tag v1.5.0 is placed on commit 5. Yet commit W claims it is version 1.4.4.4 as the tag v1.5.0 has an older tag date than the v1.4.4.4 tag. As it turns out this situation is very common. A bug fix applied to maint and later merged into master occurs frequently enough that it should Just Work Right(tm). Rather than taking the first tag that gets found git-describe will now generate a list of all possible tags and select the one which has the most number of commits in common with HEAD (or whatever revision the user requested the description of). This rule is based on the principle shown in the diagram above. There are a large number of commits on the primary development branch 'master' which do not appear in the 'maint' branch, and many of these are already tagged as part of v1.5.0-rc0. Additionally these commits are not in v1.4.4.4, as they are part of the v1.5.0 release still being developed. The v1.5.0-rc0 tag is more descriptive of W than v1.4.4.4 is, and therefore should be used. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

Teach "git describe" --dirty option With the --dirty option, git describe works on HEAD but append s"-dirty" iff the contents of the work tree differs from HEAD. E.g. $ git describe --dirty v1.6.5-15-gc274db7 $ echo >> Makefile $ git describe --dirty v1.6.5-15-gc274db7-dirty The --dirty option can also be used to specify what is appended, instead of the default string "-dirty". $ git describe --dirty=.mod v1.6.5-15-gc274db7.mod Many build scripts use `git describe` to produce a version number based on the description of HEAD (on which the work tree is based) + saying that if the build contains uncommitted changes. This patch helps the writing of such scripts since `git describe --dirty` does directly the intended thing. Three possiblities were considered while discussing this new feature: 1. Describe the work tree by default and describe HEAD only if "HEAD" is explicitly specified Pro: does the right thing by default (both for users and for scripts) Pro: other git commands that works on the work tree by default Con: breaks existing scripts used by the Linux kernel and other projects 2. Use --worktree instead of --dirty Pro: does what it says: "git describe --worktree" describes the work tree Con: other commands do not require a --worktree option when working on the work tree (it often is the default mode for them) Con: unusable with an optional value: "git describe --worktree=.mod" is quite unintuitive. 3. Use --dirty as in this patch Pro: makes sense to specify an optional value (what the dirty mark is) Pro: does not have any of the big cons of previous alternatives * does not break scripts * is not inconsistent with other git commands This patch takes the third approach.

Compute accurate distances in git-describe before output. My prior change to git-describe attempts to print the distance between the input commit and the best matching tag, but this distance was usually only an estimate as we always aborted revision walking as soon as we overflowed the configured limit on the number of possible tags (as set by --candidates). Displaying an estimated distance is not very useful and can just be downright confusing. Most users (heck, most Git developers) don't immediately understand why this distance differs from the output of common tools such as `git rev-list | wc -l`. Even worse, the estimated distance could change in the future (including decreasing despite no rebase occuring) if we find more possible tags earlier on during traversal. (This could happen if more tags are merged into the branch between queries.) These factors basically make an estimated distance useless. Fortunately we are usually most of the way through an accurate distance computation by the time we abort (due to reaching the current --candidates limit). This means we can simply finish counting out the revisions still in our commit queue to present the accurate distance at the end. The number of commits remaining in the commit queue is probably less than the number of commits already traversed, so finishing out the count is not likely to take very long. This final distance will then always match the output of `git rev-list | wc -l`. We can easily reduce the total number of commits that need to be walked at the end by stopping as soon as all of the commits in the commit queue are flagged as being merged into the already selected best possible tag. If that's true then there are no remaining unseen commits which can contribute to our best possible tag's depth counter, so further traversal is useless. Basic testing on my Mac OS X system shows there is no noticable performance difference between this accurate distance counting version of git-describe and the prior version of git-describe, at least when run on git.git.

We can generate these counts during the revision walking and tag matching loop by assigning a color to each tag and coloring the commits as we walk them. This limits us to identifying no more than 26 possible tags, as there is limited space available within the flags field of struct commit. The limitation of 26 possible tags is hopefully not going to be a problem in real usage, as most projects won't create 26 maintenance releases and merge them back into a development trunk after the development trunk was tagged with a release candidate tag. If that does occur git-describe will start to revert to its old behavior of using the newer maintenance release tag to describe the development trunk, rather than the development trunk's own tag. The suggested workaround would be to retag the development trunk's tip. However since even 26 possible tags can take a while to generate a description for on some projects I'm defaulting the limit to 10 but offering the user --candidates to increase the number of possible matches if they need a more accurate result. I specifically chose 10 for the default as it seems unlikely projects will have more than 10 maintenance releases merged into a development trunk before retagging the development trunk, and it seems to perform about the same on linux.git as v1.4.4.4 git-describe. A large amount of debugging information was also added during the development of this change, so I've left it in to be toggled on with --debug. It may be useful to the end user to help them understand why git-describe took one particular tag over another. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

Chose better tag names in git-describe after merges. Recently git.git itself encountered a situation on its master and next branches where git-describe stopped reporting 'v1.5.0-rc0-gN' and instead started reporting 'v1.4.4.4-gN'. This appeared to be a backward jump in version numbering. maint o-------------------4 \ \ master o-o-o-o-o-o-o-5-o-C-o-W The issue is that commit C in the diagram claims it is version 1.5.0, as the tag v1.5.0 is placed on commit 5. Yet commit W claims it is version 1.4.4.4 as the tag v1.5.0 has an older tag date than the v1.4.4.4 tag. As it turns out this situation is very common. A bug fix applied to maint and later merged into master occurs frequently enough that it should Just Work Right(tm). Rather than taking the first tag that gets found git-describe will now generate a list of all possible tags and select the one which has the most number of commits in common with HEAD (or whatever revision the user requested the description of). This rule is based on the principle shown in the diagram above. There are a large number of commits on the primary development branch 'master' which do not appear in the 'maint' branch, and many of these are already tagged as part of v1.5.0-rc0. Additionally these commits are not in v1.4.4.4, as they are part of the v1.5.0 release still being developed. The v1.5.0-rc0 tag is more descriptive of W than v1.4.4.4 is, and therefore should be used. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

hashmap: add API to disable item counting when threaded This is to address concerns raised by ThreadSanitizer on the mailing list about threaded unprotected R/W access to map.size with my previous "disallow rehash" change (0607e10009ee4e37cb49b4cec8d28a9dda1656a4). See: https://public-inbox.org/git/adb37b70139fd1e2bac18bfd22c8b96683ae18eb.1502780344.git.martin.agren@gmail.com/ Add API to hashmap to disable item counting and thus automatic rehashing. Also include API to later re-enable them. When item counting is disabled, the map.size field is invalid. So to prevent accidents, the field has been renamed and an accessor function hashmap_get_size() has been added. All direct references to this field have been been updated. And the name of the field changed to map.private_size to communicate this. Here is the relevant output from ThreadSanitizer showing the problem: WARNING: ThreadSanitizer: data race (pid=10554) Read of size 4 at 0x00000082d488 by thread T2 (mutexes: write M16): #0 hashmap_add hashmap.c:209 #1 hash_dir_entry_with_parent_and_prefix name-hash.c:302 #2 handle_range_dir name-hash.c:347 #3 handle_range_1 name-hash.c:415 #4 lazy_dir_thread_proc name-hash.c:471 #5 <null> <null> Previous write of size 4 at 0x00000082d488 by thread T1 (mutexes: write M31): #0 hashmap_add hashmap.c:209 #1 hash_dir_entry_with_parent_and_prefix name-hash.c:302 #2 handle_range_dir name-hash.c:347 #3 handle_range_1 name-hash.c:415 #4 handle_range_dir name-hash.c:380 #5 handle_range_1 name-hash.c:415 #6 lazy_dir_thread_proc name-hash.c:471 #7 <null> <null> Martin gives instructions for running TSan on test t3008 in this post: https://public-inbox.org/git/CAN0heSoJDL9pWELD6ciLTmWf-a=oyxe4EXXOmCKvsG5MSuzxsA@mail.gmail.com/ Signed-off-by: Jeff Hostetler <jeffhost@microsoft.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Teach "git describe" --dirty option With the --dirty option, git describe works on HEAD but append s"-dirty" iff the contents of the work tree differs from HEAD. E.g. $ git describe --dirty v1.6.5-15-gc274db7 $ echo >> Makefile $ git describe --dirty v1.6.5-15-gc274db7-dirty The --dirty option can also be used to specify what is appended, instead of the default string "-dirty". $ git describe --dirty=.mod v1.6.5-15-gc274db7.mod Many build scripts use `git describe` to produce a version number based on the description of HEAD (on which the work tree is based) + saying that if the build contains uncommitted changes. This patch helps the writing of such scripts since `git describe --dirty` does directly the intended thing. Three possiblities were considered while discussing this new feature: 1. Describe the work tree by default and describe HEAD only if "HEAD" is explicitly specified Pro: does the right thing by default (both for users and for scripts) Pro: other git commands that works on the work tree by default Con: breaks existing scripts used by the Linux kernel and other projects 2. Use --worktree instead of --dirty Pro: does what it says: "git describe --worktree" describes the work tree Con: other commands do not require a --worktree option when working on the work tree (it often is the default mode for them) Con: unusable with an optional value: "git describe --worktree=.mod" is quite unintuitive. 3. Use --dirty as in this patch Pro: makes sense to specify an optional value (what the dirty mark is) Pro: does not have any of the big cons of previous alternatives * does not break scripts * is not inconsistent with other git commands This patch takes the third approach.

IOW, with something like Junios current tree, I get: [torvalds@g5 git]$ git-describe parent refs/tags/v1.0.4-g2414721b ie the current head of my "parent" branch (ie Junio) is based on v1.0.4, but since it has a few commits on top of that, it has added the git hash of the thing to the end: "-g" + 8-char shorthand for the commit 2414721b194453f058079d897d13c4e377f92dc6. Doing a "git-describe" on a tag-name will just show the full tag path: [torvalds@g5 git]$ git-describe v1.0.4 refs/tags/v1.0.4 unless there are _other_ tags pointing to that commit, in which case it will just choose one at random. This is useful for two things: - automatic version naming in Makefiles, for example. We could use it in git itself: when doing "git --version", we could use this to give a much more useful description of exactly what version was installed. - for any random commit (say, you use "gitk <pathname>" or "git-whatchanged" to look at what has changed in some file), you can figure out what the last version of the repo was. Ie, say I find a bug in commit 39ca371c45b04cd50d0974030ae051906fc516b6, I just do: [torvalds@g5 linux]$ git-describe 39ca371c45b04cd50d0974030ae051906fc516b6 refs/tags/v2.6.14-rc4-g39ca371c and I now know that it was _not_ in v2.6.14-rc4, but was presumably in v2.6.14-rc5. The latter is useful when you want to see what "version timeframe" a commit happened in. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
