It was merged right before 3.13. See "git tag --contains aed06b9cfcab". It's indeed weird that "git describe --contains" gives a named based on tag v4.6-rc1, but it is not really incorrect since tags/v4.6-rc1~9^2~792 is indeed a correct name for aed06b9cfcabf8644ac5f6f108c0b3d01522f88b, and actually uses a tag that follows it. -- Matthieu Moy http://www-verimag.imag.fr/~moy/ -- 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
