How to get the log with the output of git describe

Question

I want to use the output of git describe in my program so if a problem occurs, I can easily track down in what revision this happened.

The output is similar to: v2.12-20-g22290d9

I know I can checkout it easily, but how can I track the log with git log or a similar tool?

git log v2.12-20-g22290d9 will show the log starting at that tag.

I swear it didn't work when I tried that. Anyway, now it does. Thanks :) – dan-lee Nov 27 '13 at 12:15
