question re tags

2013-03-08 Thread John Stean
Ive been tagging some commits using tortoise git , for example with v1.0, 
v1.1 etc. In tortoise git log the tag sits alongside the commit as I expect.
But when I do a git describe it outputs the first tag along with the latest 
commit. What am I doing wrong?

Those tags are probably lightweight tags, so by default git-describe
doesn't take them into account. You can pass the --tags flag to tell it
to consider lightweight tags as well.
