Signed-off-by: Ramsay Jones <ram...@ramsayjones.plus.com> --- Hi Junio,
I recently noticed that: $ make >pout 2>&1 $ ./git version git version 2.11.0.286.g109e8a9 $ git describe v2.11.0-286-g109e8a99d $ ... for non-release builds, the commit part of the version string was still using an --abbrev=7. I don't know that it actually matters too much (since it will show as many as necessary, thus the RFC), but it caused me to look twice. ;-) ATB, Ramsay Jones GIT-VERSION-GEN | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/GIT-VERSION-GEN b/GIT-VERSION-GEN index 520d6e66e..05601f753 100755 --- a/GIT-VERSION-GEN +++ b/GIT-VERSION-GEN @@ -12,7 +12,7 @@ if test -f version then VN=$(cat version) || VN="$DEF_VER" elif test -d ${GIT_DIR:-.git} -o -f .git && - VN=$(git describe --match "v[0-9]*" --abbrev=7 HEAD 2>/dev/null) && + VN=$(git describe --match "v[0-9]*" --abbrev=9 HEAD 2>/dev/null) && case "$VN" in *$LF*) (exit 1) ;; v[0-9]*) -- 2.11.0
