There's branches for the current versions and tags for the older ones. Clone mediawiki/core and git tag and git branch -r will show them.

Hi,

How can I find which commits entered a certain MediaWiki "build" (especially the -wmfX ones). Are there any tags in the repository or is there a page that holds that information?

Thanks, Strainu

Gerrit lists remote branches for -wmf:

| [tim@passepartout ~/public_html/w]$ git branch -r | fgrep wmf/1.23 | gerrit/wmf/1.23wmf1 | gerrit/wmf/1.23wmf2 | gerrit/wmf/1.23wmf3 | gerrit/wmf/1.23wmf4 | gerrit/wmf/1.23wmf5 | gerrit/wmf/1.23wmf6 | gerrit/wmf/1.23wmf7 | gerrit/wmf/1.23wmf8 | gerrit/wmf/1.23wmf9 | [tim@passepartout ~/public_html/w]$

For the other way (you have a commit and want to know where it's coming from), in the general case, Git has a neat fea- ture: "git describe --tags" will traverse the tree upwards and produce an identifier with the SHA1, the "nearest" tag and the number of steps between; however, with current mas- ter:

| [tim@passepartout ~/public_html/w]$ git describe --tags | 1.6.0-44845-g1e5e4d9 | [tim@passepartout ~/public_html/w]$

So Git had to travel 44845 nodes to find a tag -- which is useless :-).
