Hi list After reading the manual page for git describe it was not clear to me what kind of pattern the --match option should take. Was it to be a shell pattern (to be expected) or a regular expression pattern? So I dug in the code to find fnmatch: shell pattern. Now my question(s): - could the manual page be update to make this explicit please? (plus other manual pages talking about (shell) patterns) - could git start taking regular expression patterns please? I'm using the --match option on git describe to generate version information from and matching against a regular expression is soooo much more powerful and allows me to fully define my naming convention while shell patterns do not allow me to do so. Or am I missing something? grtz -- Ferry Huberts -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
