git rev-list --tags --max-count=1 fails

[natew]

It wants me to put master after rev-list in order to function.

[natew]

Tried with git versions 2.6 and 2.7:

git rev-list --tags --max-count=1

usage: git rev-list [OPTION] <commit-id>... [ -- paths... ]
  limiting output:
    --max-count=<n>
    --max-age=<epoch>
    --min-age=<epoch>
    --sparse
    --no-merges
    --min-parents=<n>
    --no-min-parents
    --max-parents=<n>
    --no-max-parents
    --remove-empty
    --all
    --branches
    --tags
    --remotes
    --stdin
    --quiet
  ordering output:
    --topo-order
    --date-order
    --reverse
  formatting output:
    --parents
    --children
    --objects | --objects-edge
    --unpacked
    --header | --pretty
    --abbrev=<n> | --no-abbrev
    --abbrev-commit
    --left-right
    --count
  special purpose:
    --bisect
    --bisect-vars
    --bisect-all

I'm having this same issue.

Seems to work for me? git 2.6.3 on osx

It fails if the repo does not have any existing tags

➜  lerna-test git:(master) git rev-list --tags
usage: git rev-list [OPTION] <commit-id>... [ -- paths... ]
  limiting output:
    --max-count=<n>
    --max-age=<epoch>
    --min-age=<epoch>
    ...
➜  lerna-test git:(master) git tag foo
➜  lerna-test git:(master) git rev-list --tags
