Re: bug?

[Bernt Hansen <bernt@norang.ca>]

Hi David,

It's org-mode and not Emacs.

This is output from 'git describe' trying to identify the git version
you are running.  Did you unpack that archive in a directory with a git
archive (containing a .git subdirectory?)

Does

  (locate-library "org")

return some other location than where you unpacked this archive and does
it have a .git subdirectory?

M-x org-version
is trying to locate your org-mode installation and determine if it was
installed from git.  It assumes that if a .git directory exists then it
has a git repository it can interrogate for the specific git version
information.

It seems your git repository has tag references but they don't point at
valid objects in the git repository.

Regards,
Bernt
