We use this in Openswan:

baseversion=$1
cd "${2:-.}" || usage

version=$baseversion

# Check for git and a git repo.
if head=`git rev-parse --verify HEAD 2>/dev/null`; then

        if descr=`git describe --tags --dirty 2>/dev/null` ; then
                descr=${descr#v}
                printf '%s' "$descr"
                exit 0
        fi

else
        printf "$baseversion"
fi


One could do this in perl much easier, and store it in a file.
This way, you get the git tag, and even the word dirty if there are
local changes, but it references the last version tag.
