Subject: [RFC PATCH] describe: Make --tags and --all match lightweight tags more often
Date: Fri, 10 Oct 2008 09:59:52 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20081010165952.GI8203@spearce.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20080930083940.GA11453@artemis.corp>

If the caller supplies --tags they want the lightweight, unannotated
tags to be searched for a match.  If a lightweight tag is closer
in the history, it should be matched, even if an annotated tag is
reachable further back in the commit chain.

The same applies with --all when matching any other type of ref.

 This come out of the discussions earlier last week, where folks
 were confused about the meaning of --tags and wanted to see it
 behave as they expected, which was to match the nearest tag,
 no matter its "type".

 The code is unchanged from what I sent out before, but now it has
 updated test vectors and a commit message.

 Thoughts?
