The current format is %d, which is
"ref names, like the --decorate option of git-log[1]"
according to git help log.
I'm not clear what the difference between that and %(describe) is. The
substituted value is used subtly in get-version as part of the
build-process, so we need to be a little careful about changing things.
When the build runs on a fully-fledged git repo, rather than a tar file
extracted from one, get-version does run "git describe". This isn't the
case during the automated build, however.

The contents of file VERSION from the tar.gz files of the latest 3 commits:
dnsmasq-c4b9bc6/VERSION: (HEAD -> master)
dnsmasq-4447d48/VERSION: (tag: v2.87rc1, origin/master, origin/HEAD)
dnsmasq-04cc2ae/VERSION:
Would it be better adding "%(describe)" to the format in file VERSION?
