Getting first tag per branch for a commit

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

git describe --tags <commit> gives me the first tag that includes this commit.

git tag --contains <commit> shows all the tags that contain the commit.

git branch -a --contains <commit> shows the branches that include this commit.

What I'd like to have is a way to tell the first tag per branch (or
per merge) that the commit appeared on.

I'll use an example from the Git repository. Let's pick commit
32b8c581ec which was first introduced in v2.9.3.

git describe --tags will only show v2.9.3

git tag --contains shows the following list:
v2.10.0
v2.10.0-rc0
v2.10.0-rc1
v2.10.0-rc2
v2.10.1
v2.10.2
v2.10.3
v2.11.0
v2.11.0-rc0
v2.11.0-rc1
v2.11.0-rc2
v2.11.0-rc3
v2.11.1
v2.11.2
v2.12.0
v2.12.0-rc0
v2.12.0-rc1
v2.12.0-rc2
v2.12.1
v2.12.2
v2.12.3
v2.13.0
v2.13.0-rc0
v2.13.0-rc1
v2.13.0-rc2
v2.13.1
v2.13.2
v2.9.3
v2.9.4

What really interests me as a user is the "first in the series" tag
for each version. What I'd expect is:
v2.10.0-rc0
v2.9.3

and I can conclude that if it appeared in 2.9.3 then 2.9.4 also has
it, and if it's in 2.10.0-rc0 then all the following versions (2.10.x
and up) include it.

I think that this can be done by filtering out tags that are connected
to already listed tags by first-parent link.

Is there a way to achieve this kind of "simplified contained in" list?
