I'm using msys git on Windows XP for version tracking embedded design project in C. I mostly work with GUIs (git-gui and qgit), I use bash only when I have to. I need to be able to access version from software. To do that, I use tags to mark all released versions, and that version string is written to file version.h (the file is not tracked) by pre-build command: #define KDK_SOFTWARE_VERSION "0.72" Precompiler assigns this string to a variable. At this moment, version.h is filled by python script that calls "git-describe --tag HEAD" and parses the output. This works, but it's not quite reliable. There has to be a better way for getting the last tag of current working tree. If I checkout an earlier tagged version (0.70), I would need to automatically get 0.70 inside version.h Can anyone shed any light on this? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Retrieving-last-tag-of-a-working-tree-tp21071491p21071491.html Sent from the git mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- 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
