It would be nice if that could be incorporated in some way, but it relies on having the tags in your copy of the repository. For example, although my copy was one commit behind a few moments ago, it had been months since I'd pulled tags:<br><br><span style="font-family:monospace,monospace">$ git describe<br>2015a-69-ge6a6d02<br><br>$ git pull origin --tags<br>...<br><br>$ git describe<br>2015e-16-ge6a6d02</span><br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature">--<br>Tim Parenti<br></div></div>
