The version numbers need to be assigned by the developers since only they
know whether it's a new patch release, minor version release, or major
release.

git tag -a -m "Next major release" v3.0.0
git push origin --tags

The version number can be merged into the source by a build script or git's
pseudo-keyword expansion

VERSION=`git describe`
http://git-scm.com/book/ch7-2.html#Keyword-Expansion

The format that git describe uses looks like

v3.0.0-46-g71a77dc

which would be 46 commits after 3.0.0 with the given hash as the latest
commit.
