If your goal is to make it so users filling out bug reports have a version, then using git descrsibe and making that be part of your version (based off your tags, and commits) is how pretty much every other project I've worked on does this. I really don't think that's your goal here, given you're doing things in make with timestamps and builds, so I guess I misunderstood your answer?
There are 2 different things: 1. put git describe output into some header file 2. make things to rebuild with every new commit So I actually stuck at solving 2, because 1 is trivial. My original solution for 2 was to "depend" on refs/heads/*. This worked besides git gc, but had a lot of troubles with worktrees. And this time I switched to the "touch tmpfile" trick with the date taken from git log. This requires .LOW_RESOLUTION_TIME in makefile, so probably not the best solution again, but should hopefully be more future-proof than the previous one.
