====== Find the First Version/Tag That Contains a Specific Commit =======

The command shown below can be used to find the first version/tag that contains a specific commit.

In the example we run the command in a local clone of the Linux kernel repo to determine the first version
of the Linux kernel which contains a bug fixed by the specific commit:

<codedoc code>
git describe ~~codedoc:clean:--~~contains ~~codedoc:<em>f3a1ef9cee4812e2d08c855eb373f0d83433e34c</em>~~
</codedoc>

\\
And the output is:

<codedoc code>
v3.6-rc2~24^2~15
</codedoc>
