Package: guilt Version: 0.28-1 Documentation/Makefile contains:
[...]
version.txt:
echo "(Generated for Guilt `git-describe`)" > version.txt
[...]
However, git-describe:
* Doesn't print a version number when inside a Git repository:
~/local/git/debian/pkg-pypy% git-describe
fatal: cannot describe '648f715477c1f50f01c847689fa931c953e9c19e'
* Doesn't print a version number when outside of a Git repository:
/tmp/madeup% git-describe
fatal: not a git repository
(Also note that this is printed to stderr)
* Doesn't Build-depends on git-core.
I would guess that the idea of calling git-describe is so that the
maintainer, who maintains inside git, can get the exact version number.
This, however, doesn't work when using the .orig.tar.gz.
