How about something like the following?

This appends ";%(describe)" to the format.
The script will try to parse the contents of %d first, then %(describe).
This should have minimal impact.


Thanks for that. Reading up more, I think that just going to %(describe) is the way to go. It seems to do exactly what's needed, and avoids all the crazy sorting to get the latest commit from the output of %d. get-version therefore gets simpler, which is better adding complexity.

Simon.
