generally, I'd suggest using "git describe" to output a version based on tag, and as part of your build system set that in some sort of --version output of some kind.
I am not sure I understand that suggestion. I can use 'git describe' (and that seems to be what linux kernel does too), but I don't see how can I get away without a temporary file, maually comparing current 'git describe' with the one stored, and updating that file in case of a mismatch. Could you please clarify? Maybe I am missing some makefile trick which you assume I am aware about. :)
