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 ...
Hi Simo,
Interesting. I can't speak to the use of get rev-parse vs. git log since
I always grabbed the commit hash from the webpage (I know, I know, I'll
hand in my l33t h4x0r card next meeting, I swear).
The git rev-parse command is giving you the ID of the tag, not the ID of
the commit that the tag points at.
