Chad mentioned that git describe already reads tags, but only if they are signed/annotated ... which I did, but the local repo did not have this signed tag so I fixed with:
git tag --delete 20.1 # remove my local tag git fetch --tags upstream New tag was pulled down and then verified with: % git tag --verify 20.1 object 5153c57524c5f0e7737530f07987a1d517e5478e type commit tag 20.1 tagger Ryan Harper <[email protected]> 1590526294 -0500 Releasing 20.1 gpg: Signature made Tue 26 May 2020 03:51:47 PM CDT -- https://code.launchpad.net/~raharper/curtin/+git/curtin/+merge/384582 Your team curtin developers is requested to review the proposed merge of ~raharper/curtin:ubuntu-devel-new-upstream-snapshot-20200526 into curtin:ubuntu/devel. -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~curtin-dev Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~curtin-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
