Subject: Git describe shows old tag
Date: Thu, 26 Sep 2019 16:46:13 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAN-=hvFX+tN_pQHPBxo0pA90N03dO7pxHVbD79Es22mx30TdxQ@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

I believe there is a bug in git describe. When using the command `git
describe –tags` an old tag version was returned. The repo had a
lightweight tag at v0.6.1, which was correctly shown by `git tag` but
did not get returned by `git describe –tags` OR `git describe –all`.
The command `git for-each-ref --format="%(refname:short)"
--sort=-authordate --count=1 refs/tags` worked correctly. Console
logs:
