I have a project that changed its name some time ago (from "isredir" to "iredir"), so I added another tag for the same commit ID (What's the command to show the commit IDs for tags, BTW?: "git tag -v" does not. As part of the build process, I run (for example) "git describe --always --tags af467c7". So I got the response: warning: tag 'isredir-0.3.0' is really 'iredir-0.3.0' here isredir-0.3.0-3-gaf467c7 I'm unsure what the message is actually saying: The hash cannot be resolved in a unique way? I just see two tags remaining in refs: > ls .git/refs/tags/ iredir-0.3.0 iredir-0.3.1 Regards, Ulrich
