setuptools feature: tag_git_description like tag_svn_revision
Hello all, Might it be an idea to have an option like 'tag_git_description' similar to tag_svn_revision? A possible implementation could use git describe; such as suggested by Douglas Creager in this gist: https://gist.github.com/300803. I am currently using this for my packages, but it might be nice to integrate it into setuptools. Jasper van den Bosch

The automatic SVN support is pretty controversial in setuptools and at least for distribute we more or less decided to not expand it further. But there's various revision control specific packages, you can use: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools-git http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools_bzr http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools_hg http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools_subversion (for SVN 1.7+) If you have git specific ideas, it's best to follow up with the maintainers of setuptools-git.

Alright, thanks
