Hash: SHA1

According to Gary V. Vaughan on 4/16/2008 7:31 PM:
| Ah, the link that was giving me a 403 was picking up a spurious trailing
| paren.  So now I see two near identical pages:
|
| http://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=libtool.git;a=commit;h=2bbe5d
| http://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=libtool.git;a=commit;h=724f291
|
| The difference being that one of them, as Eric correctly noted, leads to
| another page without the release-2-2-2 tag.

More importantly, the one with the release-2-2-2 tag has the wrong history.

|
| So my question is how did you find the stale tags?

I was browsing gitweb, and noticed that the shortlog for release-2-2-2 has
a yellow box showing the existing tag, but the shortlog for master does not:
http://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=libtool.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/tags/release-2-2-2

Closer investigation shows that the two commits, although they have
identical summaries, have different SHA1 and thus different histories.  To
confirm it, you can do:

$ git log 2bbe5d..724f291 --pretty=oneline |wc
~   3018   66346  611845

Wow - they differ by more than 3000 commits (likely, they share a common
ancestor over 1500 commits ago).

Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
