Subject: git-describe: --tags and --abbrev
X-Git-Tag: v1.1.0~19
X-Git-Url: https://git.verplant.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=2d9e7c9f908d0a025970a5592d47def3d77e77a9;p=git.git

git-describe: --tags and --abbrev

With --tags, not just annontated tags, but also any ref under
refs/tags/ are used to name the revision.

The number of digits is configurable with the --abbrev=<n> option.
