How to list only version tags with git-log?

Question

I want to create a (latex) table of tags and theirs messages straight out of git, therefor I need to get all tags that match a pattern like:

/^v([0-9]|\.)*/

or so.

How to do this? My attempt:

git log --all --tags --grep="^v([0-9]|\.)*" --pretty=format:"%d & %s & %b"

fails and returns nothing (tested on the linux kernel source tree).

Answer 1

$ git for-each-ref --format='%(objectname)' \
    'refs/tags/v.*' 'refs/tags/v[0-9]*' | \
    xargs -n 1 git log -1 --pretty=format:"%d & %s & %b"
