I want to use make file auto generate the revision number of working copy from the tag name in git. So as questioned in subject, I have tried to use 'git describe', it works well in most case, and the output is good match my requirement. Problem is: when there are multiple tags on same one commit, if check out one of these tag, the 'git describe' only be able to return the most new created tag name in that commit, instead of the real checked out tag. Seems 'git-describe' capture the most recent tag name by create sequence. I expect add an argument to 'git-describe' to make it get the most recent tag name according to checkout status when multiple tags on one commit. Is there any suggestion?
