From 8a5a1884e93564cb1f46a73184d083a5181d573b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Shawn O. Pearce" Date: Sun, 24 Feb 2008 03:07:28 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] Avoid accessing non-tag refs in git-describe unless --all is requested If we aren't going to use a ref there is no reason for us to open its object from the object database. This avoids opening any of the head commits reachable from refs/heads/ unless they are also reachable through the commit we have been asked to describe and we need to walk through it to find a tag.
