[PATCH] scripts/setlocalversion: update comment regarding information retrieval about git repository state

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



A tagged repository state isn't enough, git describe only
looks at signed or annotated tags (git tag -a/-s). This
documentation update makes sure the comment matches the
current behaviour.
