Tvheadend

In fact the cd $(dirname $0) cause the problem.

I don't understand, the debug above shows that command succeeded (and git ops should work from any valid subdir of the repo). I've checked this on a wheezy build system, its all I've got access to. It works fine.

What output do you get it you manually run:

cd support
git describe --dirty --match 'v*'

cd tvheadend/support/

fatal: No names found, cannot describe anything.

The same command in the root directory succeeds

Must be a problem with some old version of git I guess, easy enough to mod the script to switch to the root DIR instead. I'll post a fix later.

git --version
git version 1.8.1.1

Well that's newer than mine, so maybe its the reverse, they've now stopped allowing that. But that's not what I would have expected. All seems odd, but either way I'll mod the script to keep it happy.
