$ git log -10 --format="'%d'" ' (HEAD -> master, origin/master, origin/HEAD)' ' (tag: v2.87rc1)' '' '' '' '' '' '' '' ' (tag: v2.87test9)' $ git log -10 --format="'%(describe)'" 'v2.87rc1-1-gc4b9bc6' 'v2.87rc1' 'v2.87test9-7-g04cc2ae' 'v2.87test9-6-g32588c7' 'v2.87test9-5-g84a6d07' 'v2.87test9-4-gd6c69f6' 'v2.87test9-3-gce37291' 'v2.87test9-2-g09d741f' 'v2.87test9-1-g0666ae3' 'v2.87test9' Output of get-version should be the same for tagged commits. Note that the %(describe) placeholder is rather new. It was added in Git 2.32 last year.
