Good!

For git-based projects, a good way to get the revision is via e.g.,

  git describe --abbrev=4 HEAD

coreutils' configure.ac now uses build-aux/git-version-gen
to set the package version number.  E.g., --version prints
this version string on one of my branches: 6.9-279-4f097

FYI, that depends on there being a signed git tag named 'v6.9'.
