From aaebf4332018980fef4e601d1b5a6e52dd9e9ae4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ryan Anderson Date: Sun, 31 Jul 2005 04:57:49 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] kbuild: automatically append a short string to the version based upon the git commit If CONFIG_AUTO_LOCALVERSION is set, the user is using a git-based tree, and the current HEAD is not referred to by any tags in .git/refs/tags/, append -g and the first 8 characters of the commit to the version string. This makes it easier to use git-bisect, and/or to do a daily build, without trampling on your older, working builds, or accidentally setting up conflicting sets of modules.
