I only want to fix some cosmetical issues regarding our version numbers. 
Don't want to risk making things worse. This particulary removed 
fallback was probably never used in UL and probably broken since we've 
added our special "-rc* handling.

Regarding gnulib upstream, IMO their git-version-gen is overengineered 
and too complicated. We don't need any of the new 
options --prefix, --fallback, --help or --version.

BTW the real upstream would be
https://github.com/git/git/blob/master/GIT-VERSION-GEN
which is simple to understand and easy to add small project-specific 
changes.


cu,
Rudi
