Hi Junio,
When building git from tonight's seen branch, it claims to be version 2.48.0,
thus:
$ pwd
/home/ramsay/git
$
$ ./git version
git version 2.48.0
$
$ git describe
v2.48.0-246-g568b3e75e9
$
$ git log -1
commit 568b3e75e9cc62870cace4e290d7c2bd3241e3e5 (HEAD -> seen, origin/seen)
Merge: 1a6fedb381 20d77dd0a5
Author: Junio C Hamano <gitster@xxxxxxxxx>
Date: Mon Jan 13 10:20:35 2025 -0800
Merge branch 'ps/zlib-ng' into seen
* ps/zlib-ng:
compat/zlib: allow use of zlib-ng as backend
git-zlib: cast away potential constness of `next_in` pointer
compat/zlib: provide stubs for `deflateSetHeader()`
compat/zlib: provide `deflateBound()` shim centrally
git-compat-util: move include of "compat/zlib.h" into "git-zlib.h"
compat: introduce new "zlib.h" header
git-compat-util: drop `z_const` define
compat: drop `uncompress2()` compatibility shim
$
$ cat GIT-VERSION
v2.48.0
$
An additional wrinkle on cygwin is that, after having built git (or more
precisely git-version.exe) then 'make sparse' and 'make hdr-check' spew to
stderr, like:
/home/ramsay/git/GIT-VERSION-GEN: line 27: warning: command substitution: \
ignored null byte in input
which is caused by GIT-VERSION, git-version and git-version.exe being 'seen'
as the same file on cygwin (case insensitive filessytem + cygwin 'magic'):
$ ls -l GIT-VERSION
-rwxr-xr-x 140 ramsay None 21M Jan 14 00:05 GIT-VERSION*
$
$ file GIT-VERSION
GIT-VERSION: PE32+ executable (console) x86-64, for MS Windows, 19 sections
$
$ ls -l *version*

I normally like to find solutions before posting problems to the list, but
unfortunately I don't have time to look into this at the moment. Sorry!
Just a heads up.
ATB,
Ramsay Jones
