Am I missing something?
Remove “g” from the hash.
-m
Thank you!
I had bookmarked
<https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2020-December/077990.html>
without noticing the accuracy of Ed Maste's ASCII (pointing at the first
character _after_ the g) and
<https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2020-December/078005.html>,
which wondered about a typo.
Now I see:
<https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2020-December/078009.html>
Probably an obvious question, does the 'g' signify Git?
Yes, from git-describe(1):
With something like git.git current tree, I get:
[torvalds@g5 git]$ git describe parent
v1.0.4-14-g2414721
i.e. the current head of my "parent" branch is based on v1.0.4, but
since it has a few commits on top of that, describe has added the
number of additional commits ("14") and an abbreviated object name for
the commit itself ("2414721") at the end.
The number of additional commits is the number of commits which would
be displayed by "git log v1.0.4..parent". The hash suffix is "-g" +
unambiguous abbreviation for the tip commit of parent (which was
2414721b194453f058079d897d13c4e377f92dc6). The "g" prefix stands for
"git" and is used to allow describing the version of a software
depending on the SCM the software is managed with. This is useful in an
environment where people may use different SCMs.
Mercurial of course cannot use 'h', as that is a valid char in hex and
could be confused with the hash itself :(
