Our company uses svn for the source code management but I use git
locally to track
my development. When I build U-boot, it always complains about "fatal:
cannot
describe" the SHA1 # of HEAD. It goes back to line 16 of
tools/setlocalversion.
I know that the error will go away when I tag my git HEAD. But what is the
philosophy of this setlocalversion? Should I always tag the top commit
of my
git tree to maintain a clean U_BOOT_VERSION define?

it's to provide a simple way of getting the "current" git tree into the u-boot
build. it doesnt always work. i recall fixing this once locally (as i was
using git-svn for a u-boot svn repo), but i dont recall exactly how i did it.
