nvie commented Aug 27, 2010

It's been mentioned in the original blog post's comments section, and on this thread: the current way releases are finished merge the release branch into master and develop, but does not record a relation between them, which makes git-describe output very inconvenient (if not to say very confusing :)).

For example: consider the case where you have a version 1.0 tagged, then finish a new 1.1 release. When using git-describe, it scans the commit tree upwards, and finds 1.0 as the first tagged commit, generating a misleading identifier somewhat like 1.0-52-g25def71, instead of something like 1.1-8-25def71.

This requires a change to the original branching model, too.

I'm thinking of starting to use git-flow, but this issue makes me a bit hesitant. Have you made any progress on it?

Thanks :)

I just stumbled upon that issue on my new release workflow today and found this issue here on github. This should be fixed to make the tags more useful to these how want to use git describe as version identifier on development versions, too.

+1. Any progress on this? This issue has now been opened for over a year with no update, and pull request #85 which addresses this has been largely ignored since it was opened in Dec 2010.

I've looked at pull request #85 and it looks perfectly good. Given the announced decision to amend the branching model, I'm a bit disappointed that this pull request hasn't already been adopted.

Add short flag `b` for `backmerge`.
Default `backmerge` flag to true (conforms to new branching model).
Fixes nvie#49, nvie#126

This patch tags commits on the original (release/hotfix branch) instead
of tagging the merge commit on the master branch.  This keeps the
history git-describe friendly.  (For related discussions, see #49, #85,

varunkvv added a commit to varunkvv/gitflow that referenced this issue Aug 21, 2013
For our use case, the release branch is an overkill, and all testing,
continuous integration and data qa can be run in the develop branch.

If / when we get a dedicated QA team who will QA and push to production
separately, then it makes sense to not have this.

    Replace contrib/debian/ with a note on how to install on Debian.

    Since gitflow is packaged for Debian and is available for testing and
    sid already, remove the contrib/ directory in favour of using the
    official Debian package.

    Also mention how to install gitflow on Debian in the README.mdown.

    Furthermore, Debian-specific things were removed from Changes.mdown
    and the Makefile.
