Hi,


Just a note that when you run git-describe, you should probably quiten it.

fatal: cannot describe 'bd7364a0fd5a4a2878fe4a224be1b142a4e6698e'

This happens when tags are not present, which can happen if Linus's tree 
is sent upwards again, IOW:

 machine1$  git-clone torvalds/linux-2.6.git
 machine1$  git push elsewhere master

 machine2$  git-clone elsewhere:/linux
 machine2$  git-describe HEAD
 fatal: cannot describe that
