[Gnash-commit] [bug #50462] Gnash shows weird version information when built from detached-HEAD Git repository

[Nutchanon Wetchasit]

Follow-up Comment #6, bug #50462 (project gnash):

@strk,
In detached HEAD mode, `git branch --contains REVSHA1` does not seem to work
like expected:

$ git checkout 144e082
Note: checking out '144e082'.

You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental
changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this
state without impacting any branches by performing another checkout.

If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may
do so (now or later) by using -b with the checkout command again. Example:

  git checkout -b new_branch_name

HEAD is now at 144e082... Note fscommand support in MovieClip.getURL
$ git branch
* (no branch)
  master
$ git branch --contains 144e082 
* (no branch)
  master
$


You would see that the highlighted branch name is still "(no branch)".

Gnash: 0.8.11dev (git 144e082 22-Feb-2017)
Git: 1:1.7.10.4-1+wheezy1 (debian)
System: Debian GNU/Linux 7.0 Wheezy i386
