Subject: GIT-VERSION-GEN: restrict tags used
X-Git-Tag: v1.7.2-rc0~3^2~26
X-Git-Url: http://git.tremily.us/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=3368edd4cda6306d524e10758e2c5a187dcd4ba6;p=git.git

GIT-VERSION-GEN: restrict tags used

Restrict the tags used to generate the version string to those that
begin with "v", since git's tags for git-core (ie. excluding git-gui)
are all of the form "vX.Y...".

This is to avoid using private tags by the user in a clone of the git
code repository, which may break certain machinery (eg. Makefile, gitk).
