Mapping from x264 git commit tags to r### tags

[PhilR]

I see a lot of forum discussions (and even git release tags) referring to x264 released by SVN-style r numbers. I know that the release number stuck around because the git identifiers aren't very user friendly, I'm just wondering where to find the mapping.

I've tried poking around a bit at http://git.videolan.org/gitweb.cgi?p=x264.git;a=summary. I've also looked at the git logs and x264-devel archive.

When you run ./configure it'll automatically calculate the version number of the current revision.

In the source for x264, you can find it in version.sh. If you want to review it on the web: http://git.videolan.org/gitweb.cgi?p=x264.git;a=blob;f=version.sh;h=37b9908fa9ccae005135c84684de9e6647b7ee64;hb=HEAD

~/bin/git-log:
git log "$@" | perl -e '$/="\ncommit"; $i=@t=<>; for(@t){s/(\S{8})\S{32}\n/$1 r$i\n/m; $i--; s# \s+git-svn-id: svn://.*\n##; print}' | less

Thanks, all of you. That perl snippet was particularly helpful.
