While we're talking about 'git-describe': I always wondered what the '-g'
in front of the sha1 stands for when I issue 'git describe'. Is it for
'generation'
or what? Actually I'd appreciate if that '-g' would be dropped as it is of
no use but I also recognize that git-describe is one of the plumbing tools.
I'm just curious.

Thanks, both. I think the above is meant to be on the Subject: line, and
the text certainly is more readable.
