Hello, I want to check to which kernel version I need to upgrade to get a certain feature. For my case it was introduced in 0567a0c022d5b. zeisberg@cassiopeia:~/gsrc/linux-2.6$ rev=0567a0c022d5b343370a343121f38fd89925de55 zeisberg@cassiopeia:~/gsrc/linux-2.6$ git name-rev --tags $rev 0567a0c022d5b343370a343121f38fd89925de55 tags/v2.6.22~1686^2~1^3~5 zeisberg@cassiopeia:~/gsrc/linux-2.6$ git name-rev --refs=*-rc1 $rev 0567a0c022d5b343370a343121f38fd89925de55 tags/v2.6.22-rc1~1009^2~1^3~5 I don't now the underlaying algorithm, maybe it's to get a short string? Anyhow I want to know the earliest tag that includes this patch? Is there something I missed? I remember there was a similar discussion regarding describe. BTW: gitk does the right thing, it says: Follows: v2.6.21-rc7 Precedes: v2.6.22-rc1 (called with zeisberg@cassiopeia:~/gsrc/linux-2.6$ gitk 0567a0c022d5b343370a343121f38fd89925de55^..0567a0c022d5b343370a343121f38fd89925de55 ) I didn't check how it does that though.
