Issue 872: Show 'git describe' output for commit
Status:  Accepted
Owner: ----
Reported by russell....@gmail.com, Mar 7, 2011
'git describe' is a useful thing to pass around in emails and whatnot; we use it for versioning.  It would be nice to be able to pull its output straight out of gerrit.  

My particular use case is:
1) I commit a change which fixes a  bug
2 ) I tell QA what version the bug was fixed in

This requires JGit implementing git describe.
