Hi Lucio,
Even with this patch, I continue to get the "fatal: No names found, cannot describe anything." error msg when building Wok.
After a investigation, I noticed you added the --always flag only in Makefile.am but the git-describe command is also used in build-aux/pkg-version.
alinefm@alinefm-ThinkPad-T440:~/wok$ git grep "git describe" Makefile.am: git describe --abbrev=0 --always > $@; \ build-aux/pkg-version: PKG_VERSION=`git describe --tags --match "[0-9]*" || cat VERSION`
If you update build-aux/pkg-version to use the --always flag all errors are gone.
Please, do it and resend the patch.
Hi Aline,
The pkg-version code is perfect. It falls back to the contents of VERSION file in the tree (despite the errors throwed).
If I add --always flag to it, then the fallback will be the hash of HEAD commit and we can discard "|| cat VERSION" since git describe will always work. Is this really wanted just to avoid the error messages?
Thanks for explanation! I thought the all errors messages were gone with this patch, because that I suspect about the pkg-version script.
Regards, Aline Manera

Since new repositories don't have tags in their git history yet, git-describe was failing. This fix uses always flag to return the hash of latest commit as a fallback to version number.
