git doesn't offer a revision number (similar to what you expect from e.g. SVN) but it only offers hashes. And even to put this hash into a Version.h file everybody who checks out/commit the sources needs to define a hook script to update this file.

Since this is not very practical and even doesn't work on PPA (because you have no control over the import to bzr) it's not really an option for us.

So, for PPA we solved it by merging a branch with a Version.h file into the source branch at build time.

And to derive a revision like number from git we have written a python script which counts the number of commits and writes it to Version.h. To invoke the script you have to call cmake before.

However, it might also be possible to combine this python script with a hook script from git. But you have to do this locally on your machine.

Actually there is nothing we can do on this.

It seems to me that the current system works reasonably well, the commit hashtag is sufficient to locate a particular commit... I propose to close this issue, unless anyone has more to say?
