Yes, that number includes the date/time and all the decimal digits from the SHA1. It might even be unique. :-) Anyway, I believe that Abeltje is fixing it right now to be something more useful. Also ive modified the .patch file generator to include the output of git-describe. So a valid .patch file will look like: eg: "blead 2008-12-20.17:22:02 a2450f8e38913ec23222dc5de2f3dae8f5591d33 GitLive-blead-45-ga2450f8" I believe that the plan right now is to use the git-describe output (possibly in conjunction with the date/time) in smoke reports patchlevel stuff, and -V output, and things like that. However we really have very minimal limits on what we can with stuff. We can produce as complicated a setup as we wish. :-) Yves -- perl -Mre=debug -e "/just|another|perl|hacker/"
