If we need an increasing serial number, can't we obtain one from git?
Does git offer the ability to update an RCS-style string in a text
file each time it is modified? If that is the case, then we would
just need to arrange to modify that file each time there is a commit
to git. Of course since git uses distributed repositories, this might
become tricky.
We don't want to force someone to have to use git to do a 'make dist'
but since git is necessary in order to submit changes, it is
reasonable to make full use of it at that time.
