Trying to do a bisect with git version 1.5.6.3 didn't work with the setlocalversion script Running git name-rev --tags HEAD gives the output HEAD tags/v2.6.27-rc4~44^2 This isn't matched by setlocalversion regexp so it makes it harder to make deb-pkg/install/grub/reboot/remove Of course if this patch is accepted it is going to make life complicated when bisecting around it. Maybe git should behave as the man page suggests and have the ^X before the ~nnn? (maybe it has been fixed already) http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/v1.5.6.5/git-name-rev.html shows an example: 33db5f4d9027a10e477ccf054b2c1ab94f74c85a tags/v0.99^0~940 David commit 511c5f04eb2df03dbbae97ede82913da1f141f86 Author: David Greaves <david@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat Aug 30 14:53:35 2008 +0100 setlocalversion wasn't producing git labels for bisect diff --git a/scripts/setlocalversion b/scripts/setlocalversion index 83b7512..89f126d 100755 --- a/scripts/setlocalversion +++ b/scripts/setlocalversion @@ -11,7 +11,7 @@ cd "${1:-.}" || usage # Check for git and a git repo. if head=`git rev-parse --verify HEAD 2>/dev/null`; then # Do we have an untagged version? - if git name-rev --tags HEAD | grep -E '^HEAD[[:space:]]+(.*~[0-9]*|undefined)$' > /dev/null; then + if git name-rev --tags HEAD | grep -E '^HEAD[[:space:]]+(.*~[0-9^]*|undefined)$' > /dev/null; then if tag=`git describe 2>/dev/null`; then echo $tag | awk -F- '{printf("-%05d-%s", $(NF-1),$(NF))}' fi -- 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
