Our company uses svn for the source code management but I use git locally to track my development. When I build U-boot, it always complains about "fatal: cannot describe" the SHA1 # of HEAD. It goes back to line 16 of tools/setlocalversion.
I know that the error will go away when I tag my git HEAD. But what is the philosophy of this setlocalversion? Should I always tag the top commit of my git tree to maintain a clean U_BOOT_VERSION define?
