I'm not as familiar with the low-level git commands as I am with cogito. But cogito has a -d option for giving a tag description. I guess what would be closest to what I was thinking about would be this: $ cg-tag -d "First draft, everything in place." 0.3 7540e503b9b9c1b03e44ee7fd700c844b2a02224 $ cg-tag-ls 0.1 Initial idea complete f953b71b21a0bea682c2bed91362f2dce2cc204f 0.3 First draft, everything in place. 7540e503b9b9c1b03e44ee7fd700c844b2a02224 $ or something like that. Currently when I do the above cg-tag command, a subsequent cg-tag-ls gives just: $ cg-tag-ls 0.1 f953b71b21a0bea682c2bed91362f2dce2cc204f 0.3 7540e503b9b9c1b03e44ee7fd700c844b2a02224 In fact, I probably wouldn't even be interested in seeing the actual hash key unless I gave a special flag, maybe -f (for "full"): $ cg-tag-ls 0.1 Initial idea complete 0.3 First draft, everything in place. $ cg-tag-ls -f 0.1 Initial idea complete f953b71b21a0bea682c2bed91362f2dce2cc204f 0.3 First draft, everything in place. 7540e503b9b9c1b03e44ee7fd700c844b2a02224 $ > > BTW, when will the next issue of GIT traffic appear ;-)? Honestly, I don't know. I seem to be having my hands full just trying to keep Kernel Traffic up-to-date (just caught up today, finally). I really did the first Git Traffic to kind of spread the word about how mind-blowing the whole git development process was. But whether I'll keep on doing it, I don't know. Between Kernel Traffic, my day job, and a few non-Linux projects, I may have my hands full. On the other hand, if someone wanted to volunteer to write Git Traffic, I'd be happy to help them get started. I don't mean you, but perhaps a regular reader of this list would be interested. It seems like there's at least some interest in seeing it continue. :-) Be well, Zack > > > - > To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in > the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html -- Zack Brown - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

git/cogito suggestion: tags with descriptions
Hi folks, I've been using git on my new projects, and loving it! When I use tags, I typically will use a name like "0.3_basic_description" and "0.4_full_outline", because I want to know not only what version number I'm considering, but also the reason why I chose to tag that particular version. The problem is that when I want to seek to a particular version to see where my head was at, I have to do all that typing, or cut and paste the full text of the tag, which is not terribly annoying, but it seems unnecessary. The version number is the unique ID I'm really interested in, and the descriptive part of the name is just extra, so I know what I'm talking about. It would be great if tags also allowed a brief description to go along with them, that would show up in cg-tag-ls. Then I could seek to a tag that's just an easy-to-type version number, and still have an idea of what's significant about that version because of the descriptive text.
