Subject: [Resend] [PATCH] Fix scripts/setlocalversion with git

Hello again!

I just saw that this patch did not go anywhere and did not have
any replies, so I repost it.

I also created a git-repo at
  
  git://git.schottelius.org/linux/linux-2.6
  gitweb:
  http://git.schottelius.org/?p=linux/linux-2.6;a=summary

if you want the patch (f43ba0be1204e7c26cc700a75bdb688a788fbf2f)
via git.

Sincerly,

Nico

> When using trees like wireless-testing, which have untagged tags,

> 
> This patch fixes it: If git is available, but no usable tag is found,
> it uses -g${head}. It skips the detection of unanottated tags via
> git name-rev.
> 
> Please apply, otherwise testers like me always have '2.6.29' for trees
> with unanottated tags, instead of 2.6.29-20318-g9aa4755, which helps
> a lot if you've tons of kernels installed from different trees.
