When using `git-describe`, it scans the commit tree upwards, and finds 1.0 as the first tagged commit, generating a misleading identifier somewhat like `1.0-52-g25def71`, instead of something like `1.1-8-25def71`.\n\nThis requires a change to the original branching model, too.","comments":7,"title":"Be git-describe friendly","updated_at":"2011-10-18T22:04:22Z","url":"https://api.github.com/repos/nvie/gitflow/issues/49","id":292161,"assignee":null,"milestone":null,"closed_at":null,"user":{"gravatar_id":"c5a7f21b46df698f3db31c37ed0cf55a","avatar_url":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/c5a7f21b46df698f3db31c37ed0cf55a?d=https://a248.e.akamai.net/assets.github.com%2Fimages%2Fgravatars%2Fgravatar-140.png","url":"https://api.github.com/users/nvie","id":83844,"login":"nvie"},"html_url":"https://github.com/nvie/gitflow/issues/49","labels":[{"name":"Issue","url":"https://api.github.com/repos/nvie/gitflow/labels/Issue","color":"f2b418"}],"state":"open"},"legacy":{"issue_id":292161,"comment_id":2448484}}
