[Bf-committers] Are our git tags out of date?

[Sergey Sharybin]

git describe master gives latest tag which is reachable from the HEAD
of master branch. And the thing is: in svn we've created a tag from
trunk and backported several commits there before actual release.

What happened during svn->git converts is that every release have own
branch created at the same moment as tag happend in svn. Then all the
revision were backported to git branch. Tag was created in git branch
and it totally corresponds state of svn state.

Such tags for sure are not reachable from the master branch and that's
why you can not see them with git describe. Not a bug, just different
in how tags are handled in svn and git. Nothing to worry about i'd
say.
