Speaking as upstream co-author of OpenBSC. We are using something like this to get the revision from the last tag of the repository. If someone is doing a make dist(check) we will copy a special version file into the tar.gz and use that instead. >From an upstream point of view I think it is acceptable to say that the ones that build stuff from a SCM (in contrast to a tarball) should have the files of the SCM around...
