[Qemu-devel] including the "git describe" output in the QEMU binaries?

[Laszlo Ersek]

Hi,

has this been raised / considered before? To me at least it would be
extremely useful if QEMU binaries built from a git working directory
returned the output of "git describe" (+ possibly a hint about an
unclean working directory), when invoked with "-version".

Not volunteering for the implementation, and also not suggesting /
requesting that others implement it (everyone is busy with real stuff,
I'm sure); just asking if it's been considered.

Thanks!
Laszlo
