Unfortunately, this is an artifact of how 'git describe' works, which
is what we use to calculate the version string on non-release
versions.  It finds the shortest path back to the last tag in the
tree.  When we merge from master -> next, the shortest path backwards
becomes the last tag in the master branch, which is '3.3.1git'.

I see if I can work out a way to fix this when we create the new
'next' branch after the 3.4.0 release.
