Instead of using a hardcoded version number in configure.ac, this makes tinc use the live version reported by "git describe", queried on-the-fly during the build process and regenerated for every build. This provides several advantages: - Less redundancy: git is now the source of truth for version information, no need to store it in the repository itself. - Simpler release process: just creating a git tag automatically updates the version. No need to change files. - More useful version information: tinc will now display the number of commits since the last tag as well as the commit the binary is built from, following the format described in git-describe(1). Here's an example of tincd --version output: tinc version release-1.1pre10-48-gc149315 (built Jun 29 2014 15:21:10, protocol 17.3) When building directly from a release tag, this would like the following: tinc version release-1.1pre10 (built Jun 29 2014 15:21:10, protocol 17.3) (Note that the format is slightly different - because of the way the tags are named, it says "release-1.1pre10" instead of just "1.1pre10")
