We gonna use git-describe. It starts counting from the last tag – 0.4.7-dev and also includes commit hash. See https://git-scm.com/docs/git-describe

Тема: Re: [ros-dev] ReactOS Repository migrated to GitHub

Congrats for switching into Github! Just a little question.

Is there any way to return using revision numbers? Current hash-based commit tagging might be confusing, hard to find, not reflecting at-the-time state of development since we have relied on SVN for a long time. Also for bug reporting, revision numbers is more helpful.

Secondly, for example, Wine don't (and probably won't) care for hashes as everyone out there uses release builds, and release period is just 2 weeks. That's not the case for ReactOS. In just a few commits big changes might occur, and everyone retests. 3 months? Avalanche!

If it isn't viable, could we seek for another solution? (e.g timestamp...)

Lastly, git.reactos.org is quite simple for watching the stream, and perfect!

Best regards,

Can
