`magit-tag-release` error: “Invalid version syntax: '0.7-5'”

Question

I'm unable to tag releases with current Magit from Elpa. Doing:

t RET r (magit-tag-release)

I immediately get the error message: "Invalid version syntax: '0.7-5'" in the minibuffer.

This happens either from the magit-log buffer or the main magit buffer.

Below is partial output from git tag:

release-0.7-5
release-0.7-6
release-0.7-7
release-0.7-8
release-0.7-9

which shows the naming pattern of my release tags. Any pointers welcome.

That's due to a recent regression, introduced by pull-request #4075). At the bottom d27d6e4678 is mentioned, which fixes this.

Thank you, I'll wait for this update. I also noticed that if I try to tag a particular commit from the log buffer, the tag is always created at the latest commit instead of where point is at. Is this the expected behaviour? I realize it might be a separate issue, but I vaguely remember it was possible to tag a commit from the log buffer. – sluque Apr 29 at 20:52
