"git tag" has a --sort key, so you can sort on dates, and "| head -n 1". See also "git for-each-ref" which is essentially a superset of what "git tag" does, and for-each-ref is plumbing, so safer to use in scripts (we have a strong tradition of backward compatibility for plumbing). This relies on the dates recorded in the commits, which may be wrong (typically if someone commited on a machine with an incorrect clock). But hopefully not. -- Matthieu Moy http://www-verimag.imag.fr/~moy/ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
