[git-users] git describe - strange results

2013-06-15 Thread Kevin Wilson
Hello, I am trying git describe --contains 21dc330157454046dd7c494961277d76e1c957fe and I get: v2.6.37-rc1~147^2~717 While the info it returns is correct (this patch was indeed for v2.6.37-rc1), I don't understand the suffix. What is ~147^2~717 ? any ideas? And it occurs with every sha I try.
