vc-working-revision with git versus svn

[Rainer M Krug]

Hi

I migrated from svn to git, but I have one problem: in some documents, I
used vc-working-revision to identify the revision of the document. In
svn, this resulted in a number, through which I could keep different
revisions separate.
Under gi, it simply tells me "master" - is there anything I can do to
get something similar then the revision number in svn, which I can use
to retrieve the version from git?

Thanks,

Rainer

I don't see why you should do anything like that...
If you want separate versions just keep different branches/repositories.
Then with git checkout you can jump from one to the other easily.
