Hi, in my subversion software repository I use the 'svnversion' command to do both: - get the last revision (e.g. r1001) - check for modified files not yet checked in (e.g. r1001 M) Both information is required for the application's build process (Makefiles): - to display the version in the application - to refuse to build a proper 'release' version if something was not checked in Would there be a way to do both in git somehow?
