Hi, with rust's git repo -- located at https://github.com/rust-lang/rust.git -- we see odd results from git-describe for the latest tag.
$ git rev-parse HEAD 795f6ae829ab1bfd72394a5da9096e2717ec0f62 $ git describe --debug searching to describe HEAD finished search at 7140d7c52bdf55daf0b978a19706d20c3bf7ee92 annotated 3627 0.10 annotated 5929 0.9 annotated 8581 0.8 annotated 11686 0.7 annotated 14540 0.6 annotated 15230 0.11.0 traversed 15232 commits 0.10-3627-g795f6ae Somehow it reports that 0.11.0 is missing tons of commits that are in HEAD. rev-list disagrees with this: $ git rev-list 0.11.0.. | wc -l 1155 The `SEARCH STRATEGY` section of the manpage says that the commit numbers for describe and rev-list should match, which is not the case here.
