git-version-gen

For inetutils (which uses git tags looking like 'inetutils-1_8') we
noticed that git-version-gen hardcodes an expression when searching for
particular tags:

    && v=`git describe --abbrev=4 --match='v*' HEAD 2>/dev/null \

I guess there are at least two questions:

1) Is it really required?

2) Any reason against making the expression 'v*' configurable?
