Hi,
Let's say I want to use Cassandra's Git repository to build my own
Cassandra .deb file which is _exactely_ the same as specified release
(for example: cassandra-1.1) and apply there some patches of my choice.
Could you please explain me how can I check which commit should I pick
to do it properly?
I think that there's an easy way to check it, but - unluckily - I don't
know it (I'm not very familiar with git) or I miss something. I was
expecting something like a tag or so, but I can't find anything that
will make me sure that I found the commit I was looking for.
Of course I can check tags, but they don't look like they are up-to-date...
michal@aperture:~/workspace/cassandra-trunk$ git status
# On branch cassandra-1.1
(...)
michal@aperture:~/workspace/cassandra-trunk$ git describe
cassandra-1.1.0-beta1-529-g8b81c8f
(beta1?!)
I know I can check debian/changelog for the last "New Release" message
and then find/guess the appropriate commit basing on author, date/time
and commit message, but I don't think it's the best approach ;)

Kind regards,
Michał
