Bingo. git-describe is what I was looking for. It's more accurate to use as a reference even after rcN come out. My current cloned tree of yours sez: v2.6.23-6562-g8add244 One more small git question: I keep a separate tree for unionfs, which I rebase often based on your tree. But my tree sez: $ git-describe v2.6.21-rc1-22880-g3a1848d "v2.6.21-rc1"? What am I missing (some tags I forgot to pull?) Why isn't git-describe saying that I'm based on your latest tree?
