The commit in the middle was ammended to have committer date in the past. $ git describe --contains d63972e4e4e7eda0444e56739ad09bfbc476b9bd tag~1 but $ git describe --contains 108a0d5972fd2e5f25b2f38cfd2fee73031ff9d3 fatal: cannot describe '108a0d5972fd2e5f25b2f38cfd2fee73031ff9d3' I guess this is the same issue reported previously here: http://git.661346.n2.nabble.com/git-describe-contains-fails-on-given-tree-td5448286.html Can this be fixed somehow or it would lead to other kind of issues? -- Michal Hocko SUSE Labs -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
