a68627a by Peter Wu (peter@xxxxxxxxxxxxx):

    version: include version information for tarballs from git
    
    Embed the git commit hash as well as the tag information for tarballs
    produced by 'git archive' (this includes the Github tarball). Example:
    
        TShark (Wireshark) 3.0.1 (Git commit ea351cd80516)
    
    Note that the embedded git ref names can include branch information, see
    for example `git log -n1 -s --format=%D v3.0.1`:
    
        tag: wireshark-3.0.1, tag: v3.0.1
        HEAD -> bug/15544, tag: v99.99
        HEAD, origin/master, origin/HEAD, master
    
    Thus, when creating release tarballs, I would recommend using the above
    command to see whether unnecessary branch information is present. If so,
    create a new post-release commit first on the same branch. This way, the
    release tarballs should be reproducible.
    
    While at it, increase the commit abbreviation length from 8 to 12.
    Currently git describe abbreviates to 10 by default. The default length
    is at minimum 7 and is dependent on the number of objects:
    
        git count-objects -v | perl -lne 'print int(log($1)/log(2)/2)+1 if /^in-pack: (\d+)/'
