From a quick look (running git 2.4.4) there are 68 error in tag $sha: unterminated header messages. By the looks of it most/all of those are old tags (which we don't care too much nowdays) and they are lacking the trailing \n. Afaict other projects have the same problem, and the git devs are working on a fix [1]. Yes, it appears the errors are being reported due to the legacy tags that were created. You can wait for git to change its behaviour or fix the tags by recreating them. I came across an issue and wanted to be sure that it was known since I didn't find anything about them on the mailing list.

I'm pretty sure that some of us haven't noticed these errors and/or did not look into them yet. I know I haven't. So thank you for the heads-up! Thank you for your time and apologies about the lack of details in my first email, Don't worry about it. None of us like seeing error messages so we tend to forget quoting them :P Cheers Emil ___ mesa-dev mailing list mesa-dev@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/mesa-dev
