From 27c578885a0b8f56430c5a24f558e2b45cf04a38 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Shawn O. Pearce" Date: Sun, 24 Feb 2008 03:07:33 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] Use git-describe --exact-match in bash prompt on detached HEAD Most of the time when I am on a detached HEAD and I am not doing a rebase or bisect operation the working directory is sitting on a tagged release of the repository. Showing the tag name instead of the commit SHA-1 is much more descriptive and a much better reminder of the state of this working directory. Now that git-describe --exact-match is available as a cheap means of obtaining the exact annotated tag or nothing at all, we can favor the annotated tag name over the abbreviated commit SHA-1.
