Here's a new patch: >From 432c0054a28a6c91b9fc1d9b53714061cb3d903c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Parker Moore <parkrmoore@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 20 Jul 2016 18:33:28 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] contrib/persistent-https: use Git version for build label The previous method simply used the UNIX timestamp of when the binary was built as its build label. $ make && ./git-remote-persistent-http -print_label 1469061546 This patch aims to align the label for this binary with the Git version contained in the GIT-VERSION-FILE. This gives a better sense of the version of the binary as it can be mapped to a particular revision or release of Git itself. For example: $ make && ./git-remote-persistent-http -print_label 2.9.1.275.g75676c8 Discussion of this patch is available on a related thread in the mailing list surrounding this package called "contrib/persistent-https: update ldflags syntax for Go 1.7+".
