Hi Git list, the help page/manpage of the git describe command has an example with the --all flag which should prepend the ref namespace (tags/ or heads/):
> With --all, the command can use branch heads as references, so the output > shows the reference path as well: > > [torvalds@g5 git]$ git describe --all --abbrev=4 v1.0.5^2 > tags/v1.0.0-21-g975b > > [torvalds@g5 git]$ git describe --all --abbrev=4 HEAD^ > heads/lt/describe-7-g975b Running the above commands in the git.git repository yields a different result: > $ git describe --all --abbrev=4 v1.0.5^2 > v1.0.0-21-g975b3 No "reference path" to see. It is however shown, when the output is a branch name: > $ git describe --all --abbrev=4 origin/next > heads/next Is this expected behavior? IOW is the documentation outdated or is the git describe command misbehaving? Thanks, Daniel -- typed with http://neo-layout.org
