The second close worked.
Can that be fixed in debbugs? I would love to have both 'git describe' output as well as commit SHA1 strings be acceptable as version strings. git describe output starts with v but then contrains fairly much arbitrary characters as put in the last signed git tag. SHA1's are easier, and if the other is a problem then those would still be better than no version information, I guess. Thanks, Ralf
