Someone at $work asked me this week how to find the current and
previous tags on his branch so he could generate release notes. I
just need "last two tags on head in topo-order". I was surprised by
how complicated this turned out to be. I ended up with this:
git log --decorate=full --pretty=format:'%d' HEAD |
sed -n -e 's-^.* refs/tags/\(.*\)[ )].*$-\1-p' |
head -2
Surely there's a cleaner way, right?
