If your goal is to make it so users filling out bug reports have a
version, then using git descrsibe and making that be part of your
version (based off your tags, and commits) is how pretty much every
other project I've worked on does this.
I really don't think that's your goal here, given you're doing things
in make with timestamps and builds, so I guess I misunderstood your
answer?
There are 2 different things:
1. put git describe output into some header file
2. make things to rebuild with every new commit
So I actually stuck at solving 2, because 1 is trivial.
My original solution for 2 was to "depend" on
refs/heads/*. This worked besides git gc, but had
a lot of troubles with worktrees. And this time I
switched to the "touch tmpfile" trick with the date
taken from git log. This requires .LOW_RESOLUTION_TIME
in makefile, so probably not the best solution again,
but should hopefully be more future-proof than the
previous one.
