Teach git-describe the `--discard` option which will allow specifying
a glob pattern of tags to ignore. This can be combined with the
`--match` patterns to enable more flexibility in determining which tags
to consider.
For example, suppose you wish to find the first official release tag
that contains a certain commit. If we assume that official release tags
are of the form "v*" and pre-release candidates include "*rc*" in their
name, we can now find the first tag that introduces commit abcdef via:
git describe --contains --match="v*" --discard="*rc*"
I have a few dozen topic branches, many of them are work in progress and
named wip/something. To see the completed branches, I routinely say
gitk --exclude=wip/* --branches
these days.
It would be great if you could provide the same user interface here. The
example in the commit message would then look like this:
git describe --contains --exclude="*rc*" --match="v*"
(I'm not saying that you should add --branches, but that you should
prefer --exclude over --discard. Also, the order of --exclude and
--match would be important.)
