A simpler way to do this, especially if you do tagging in your repositories, is to use `git describe`. For example:

    $ git describe --dirty
    v1.4.1-1-gde18fe90-dirty

The format is <the most recent tag>-<the number of commits since that tag>-g<the short git hash>-<dirty, but only if the repo is dirty>.

If the repo isn't dirty, then the hash you get excludes that part:

    $ git describe --dirty
    v1.4.1-1-gde18fe90

If you're using lightweight tags (the default) and not annotated tags (with messages and signatures and etc) you may want to add `--tags` because otherwise it'll skip over any lightweight tags.

The other nice thing about this is that, if the repo is not -dirty, you can use the output from `git describe` in other git commands to reference that commit:

    $ git show -s v1.4.1-1-gde18fe90
    commit de18fe907edda2f2854e9813fcfbda9df902d8f1 (HEAD -> 1.4.1-release, origin/HEAD, origin/1.4.1-release)
