Re: [DistroKit] [ptxdist] [PATCH] ptxd_make_vcs_version: always use all Git tags

[Roland Hieber <rhi@pengutronix.de>]

Just FYI; I initially sent the PTXdist patch because my DistroKit
version in /etc/issue still showed something very old with a big number
behind it, like "2019.12.0-00529-g1938a270ab52", because the recent tags
in the Git repo were non-signed tags.
