How to list all tags that contain a commit?
GitGit Problem Overview
This question is similar to https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4545370/how-to-list-all-tags-pointing-to-a-specific-commit-in-git, but with one difference: I wish to search for all tags that contain a specific commit within the tree of each tag, not specifically the files marked in the tag itself (in this case, only the Makefile change has been tagged).
Git Solutions
Solution 1 - Git
git tag --contains <commit>
Solution 2 - Git
Note that you need git 2.0.x (Q3 2014) in order to list all tags for a certain commit if you have a large repo
See commit cbc60b6 by Jean-Jacques Lafay (lanfeust69):
git tag --contains: avoid stack overflow
> In large repos, the recursion implementation of contains(commit, commit_list) may result in a stack overflow. Replace the recursion with a loop to fix it.
>
> This problem is more apparent on Windows than on Linux, where the stack is more limited by default.
