describe.tag.version.major couses java.lang.NullPointerException when none tag fit to pattern about gradle-git-versioning-plugin

Hi @jarzyna63, I totally agree I'll try to add a fallback values for describe placeholders e.g. 0.0.0 .
As a workaround just add a version tag to the initial commit e.g v0.0.0

BTW you should not set rev (fallback) version to a static value like this

rev {
    version = '0.0.0'
}

You should rather use a version including the commit hash to create a unique version e.g. version='${commit}'

@jarzyna63 could you provide a simple test project, because I can't reproduce your null pointer exception.

and which version do you use?

Attempted to reproduce this myself and cannot. @jarzyna63 here is attempt to repro of your issue.

If you can provide a stack or confirm the issue is fixed happy to help resolve.

@jarzyna63 I'll close this stale issue for now. Feel free to reopen it.
