From b0176ce6b5d954a747dc4d0c5a8593ed576714c4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stefan Beller Date: Tue, 21 Mar 2017 15:57:18 -0700 Subject: builtin/describe: introduce --broken flag git-describe tells you the version number you're at, or errors out, e.g. when you run it outside of a repository, which may happen when downloading a tar ball instead of using git to obtain the source code. To keep this property of only erroring out, when not in a repository, severe (submodule) errors must be downgraded to reporting them gently instead of having git-describe error out completely. To achieve that a flag '--broken' is introduced, which is in the same vein as '--dirty' but uses an actual child process to check for dirtiness. When that child dies unexpectedly, we'll append '-broken' instead of '-dirty'.
