If the project is already arranged to be compiled with decent automation,
I do not think you need any change to the workflow.
You would have a version.cc file with
static char program_version[] = "My Program " VERSION_STRING;
in it, and teach the build procedure how to compile and link this file.
Something like:
version.o: version.cc
$(CXX) -o $@ -DVERSION_STRING=\""$(git describe HEAD)"\" $?
