I think you could avoid the 'short' complication altogether by doing

That extracts 'TAG' as a true sha1 and makes GVF correct on out of tree
builds as well.

Certainly. I was trying to make PERF-VERSION-FILE readable as a
standalone file -- a better version descriptor than HEAD file.

Do you mean that instead of:

   comet:~/tip/tools/perf> cat PERF-VERSION-FILE
   #define PERF_VERSION "3.12.g953bfb"

no. I was thinking instead of
cat PERF-VERSION-FILE
#define PERF_VERSION "3.12.g953bfb"

you have
cat PERF-VERSION-FILE
3.12.g953bfb

But remember this is a new PERF-VERSION-FILE at the top of tree -- just like the HEAD file that contains the top commit id. Both are generated as part of the make perf-tar-src-pkg to keep track of the origin of the source. The new file becomes the basis of $(OUTPUT)PERF-VERSION-FILE.

we should put a plain version into it? (the 'short' form you introduced
earlier)

And then this:

   Makefile.perf:  $(QUIET_CC)$(CC) -include $(OUTPUT)PERF-VERSION-FILE \

Could be replaced with:

   Makefile.perf:  $(QUIET_CC)$(CC) -D $(shell cat $(OUTPUT)PERF-VERSION-FILE) \

or so?

something like that could be done too.
