Howdy folks, Discovered this today: ~/git[master]$ git tag mb ~/git[master]$ git describe v1.5.6.1-156-ge903b40 ~/git[master]$ git describe --tags mb ~/git[master]$ git describe --tags --long Segmentation fault (core dumped) Hope this is useful info. BTW - just started using git and I am very impressed with it - took me a while to get my head around the "index" but now I wonder what the problem was.
