So you are going to build by having a clone of my repository that is
updated via "git fetch" to have these latest tags, and you will
check out the v2.47.2 tag or the "maint-2.47" branch whose tip
happens to be at that tag.  And say "make" in there.  We may have a
wrong string in DEF_VAR in its GIT-VERSION-GEN file, but as you read
already in the above, it does not matter.  Saying "make" would run
GIT-VERSION-GEN script, which notices that you are in a Git
repository and not in a tarball extract, and runs "git describe" on
the commit you are building from, instead of blindly relying on the
value in DEF_VAR.

Which means your build will result in a version of git that says
"2.47.2" when "git version" is run.

So is there still a problem?  I am puzzled.
