Re: [PATCH] Add git-name-rev

Dear diary, on Wed, Oct 26, 2005 at 01:05:59AM CEST, I got a letter
where Johannes Schindelin [off-list ref] told me that...

git-name-rev tries to find nice symbolic names for commits. It does so by 
walking the commits from the refs. When the symbolic name is ambiguous, 
the following heuristic is applied: Try to avoid too many ~'s, and if two 
ambiguous names have the same count of ~'s, take the one whose last number 
is smaller.

I think you should either add this to git-findtags.perl or (better) add
git-findtags.perl's functionality (i.e. a switch to search only in the
tags) to this and obsolete/kill git-findtags.perl. It is pretty new
(from Oct 13) so killing it shouldn't break anything.
