[new tool] git-project-version.sh

Hello!

As I want to use the latest commit id in all my projects, so I know
which commit the version is based on, I wrote an extremly simple script
that is based on git-show to display only the version named
git-project-version.sh.

You can find it in
   http://unix.schottelius.org/git/git-tools.git/.git/
   http://unix.schottelius.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=git-tools.git/.git;a=summary
and more information is available on
   http://nico.schottelius.org/notizbuch-blog/archive/2008/04/15/git-project-version-sh-written-versions-with-git/

Sincerly

Nico

Hm, except for the three trailing dots that you get with
--abbrev-commit, you can get the same results with rev-parse

$ git rev-parse  HEAD
8a18e8fe4e0e64222de6b063a976d0fe24955ddb

$ git rev-parse --short HEAD
8a18e8f

Should have known that before... thank you for the hint!

So just forget my previous post :-)

an equivalent simpler version is:

git rev-parse [--short] HEAD

Also "git show" is a porcelain command, that means it is for humans,
not for scripts. The output of "git show" can change while the output
of "git rev-parse" (and the plumbing) is stable.

But maybe what you really want is:

git describe [--always]

Looks also quite nice, also added it to the blog entry,
but it seems to work wrong here:

The last tag I created on the master branch is called 1.20.3pre6,
but git-describe uses pre5:

[14:39] denkbrett:gpm% git-describe 
1.20.3pre5-17-gfccc331
[14:43] denkbrett:gpm% git tag 
1.20.3pre1
1.20.3pre2
1.20.3pre3
1.20.3pre4
1.20.3pre5
1.20.3pre6
1.99.0
1.99.1
1.99.2
1.99.2.1
1.99.2.2
1.99.3
1.99.4
1.99.5
[14:44] denkbrett:gpm% git branch  
  gpm-1-stable
  gpm-2-dev
* master
[14:51] denkbrett:gpm% git --version
git version 1.5.4.4

Is your 1.20.3pre6 tag annotated?  git-describe only uses annotated
tags by default; pass the --tags option to have it consider all tags.
(This caught me be surprise a few times as well.)

Got me, it is not!

Also added your hint, thank you!

I couldn't clone:
Cannot get remote repository information.
Perhaps git-update-server-info needs to be run there?

I use "git describe" for this, it's more user-friendly.
