+Subject: [PATCH] wscript: Widen the search for tags
+
+Default is to look for annotated tags, howveer when using devtool we
+create our own git tree from release tarballs which will have tags but
+they are not annotated, therefore broaden the search to include all tags
+
+Upstream-Status: Inappropriate [OE-specific]
