interesting, I used a different commit id today and it works. However if I use the instructions on the page to get the right commit it doesn't. Ie if I use git rev-parse $TAG I get a commit id which will not work when substituted above. Intead if I do git log -1 $TAG and use the commit id of the tagged commit it works. I wonder if the instructions have always been wrong or if they change something subtler in github and now only the tag ids do not work anymore ... Hi Simo, Interesting. I can't speak to the use of get rev-parse vs. git log since I always grabbed the commit hash from the webpage (I know, I know, I'll hand in my l33t h4x0r card next meeting, I swear).
The git rev-parse command is giving you the ID of the tag, not the ID of the commit that the tag points at.
