I do :
tfoerste@n22 ~/devel/linux $ ./linux --showconfig | grep AUTO
CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO=y



pls look here :


$ ./linux --version
3.11.0-00001-g65984ff-dirty

versus

$ git checkout HEAD~1
Previous HEAD position was 65984ff... um: hostfs: Fix writeback
HEAD is now at 6e46645... Linux 3.11

$ make -j4 ARCH=um CC="ccache gcc"
...

$ ./linux --version
3.11.0


which correlates to

$ git describe
v3.11

$ git describe --long
v3.11-0-g6e46645
