Hi Simo,
Yesterday afternoon, the first form works for me. Verified again
today. Actually, first time I tried it yesterday it didn't work, but
then started working. So maybe one of the fine folks at GitHub fixed
it yesterday? Dunno. Maybe give it another try?
Regards,
Jeff
Jeff,
interesting, I used a different commit id today and it works.
However if I use the instructions on the page to get the right commit
it doesn't.
Ie if I use git rev-parse $TAG I get a commit id which will not work
when substituted above. Intead if I do git log -1 $TAG and use the
commit id of the tagged commit it works.
I wonder if the instructions have always been wrong or if they change
something subtler in github and now only the tag ids do not work
anymore ...
Simo.
