and some make code that prepends it with release_$(ORGVERSION)- if it
has not release prefix.
Earlier posted patches attempts to make remote query even if history
depth of local copy is enough to include a commit tagged as release. I
have found some recipes how to modify "git fetch" to get enough objects
for "git describe", but I have never used them, so unsure concerning
their reliability. Perhaps they may be used in CI configuration, namely
in the script preparing source directory, since fetch is not
responsibility of make.
