From 26370f73c0e82bd67103e0868f84a44b536ff3fc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Shawn O. Pearce" Date: Wed, 14 Feb 2007 01:55:16 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] git-gui: Prefer version file over git-describe. Some distributions are using Git for part of their package management system, but unpack Git's own source code for delivery from the .tar.gz. This means that when we walk up the directory tree with git-describe to locate a Git repository, the repository we find is for the distribution and *not* for git-gui. Consequently any tag we might find there is bogus and does not apply to us. In this case the version file should always exist and be readable, as the packager is working from the released .tar.gz sources. So we should always favor the version file over anything git-describe guess for us. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.
