‘make dist’ fails in hurd/glibc.git

[Ludovic Courtès]

Hello,

‘make dist’ in hurd/glibc.git (the right branch, whatever it’s called)
fails:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
fatal: No names found, cannot describe anything.
make[1]: *** [dist] Error 1
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Indeed, ‘git describe’ doesn’t work here.

How about either adding at least one tag, or using
‘git log | head -1 | ...’?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
