Yes. How to get all tags of a commit?
% git tag foo v1.5.5
% git describe --exact-match 9d831805195ba40b62f632acc6bb6e53d3
warning: tag 'v1.5.5' is really 'foo' here
v1.5.5
I wish I could be clever and say I pointed this out as an obviously
wrong answer or similar. But, no, I simply didn't think of that. The
long list may be required, despite my concerns about it.. :-(
Those concerns being: overrunning the length of a shell variable, the
speed of constructing and searching the list, over-complexity of the
code. But, of course, if there isn't another way to do it right then
the list stays.
