[Discuss] A couple of git questions regarding tags

[gaf at blu.org (Jerry Feldman)]

I've been tagging my commits, and now I want to use that in my code. The
'git describe' command does this nicely:
In my sandbox I get '1.0.3-1-gf9a4796', but if I push (actually pull)
that into another repository I get '1.0.3'.
I would like to be able to display the version as well as the commit so
if someone points out a bug I know exactly. The describe in my sandbox
gives me pretty much what I want, and so does the 1.0.3. But I would
prefer the commit number (9a4796). Certainly I can parse the log to get
the current commit number.

The second question is that I would like a script that will do a git
commit as well as update the tag. I can either write this myself in
bash, tcl or python, or find a script out there that already does it.
