Probably what he wants is to describe 10ce020 as v1.5.6-390-10ce020. While that probably is doable by using the first-parent-only traversal, I do not think it is such a good idea. It is not how branches in git are designed to work. As Merlyn always says in #git at freenode, a branch is an illusion, and it is especially true in the presense of fast-forward merge (aka the upstream maintainer asking a subsystem lieutenant to do a merge for him). -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
