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.
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.
