[Tinycc-devel] compose version string from git?

[Assaf Gordon]

Hello,

I was wondering if you'd be interested in modifying 'configure' script,
to add the git information to the version string.

The current string is taken from the VERSION file,
and there's no way to know which changeset was used.

Example of such output:

    $ ./tcc -v
    tcc version 0.9.26-release_0_9_26-534-g97826e (x86-64 Linux)

The exact string can be of course improved/manipulated.
The attached patch adds this functionality (and is no-op if
tinycc is not compiled from git but from a tarball).

regards,
