git describe is your friend indeed! :)

What I do may be a bit over-engineered:
1.2.3+2015.06.16.git26.9634b76ba5

which of course is:
upstream.release+date.gitnumcommits.sha256

It'd be nice if we could all do the same thing. Not saying that my
version is the best (I wouldn't mind changing for another format), but
having standards is good.

Cheers,
