In partial reply to my own question, this has been discussed 2 years ago, but
apparently nothing ever came out of it.

So once more the request to be able to get sane version strings for git repos.
Can we please just move gitpkgv. That's like five minutes work, and if anyone
(e.g. me) feels like building something better, he or she is free do submit
that and get rid of the gitpkgv class once it's obsolete.

The gitpkgv class is very helpful when you want packages to have a consistent
incremental version number, when build machines cannot talk to eachother
(ruling out using PRSERVER for example) other than through repositories.
However, this small gem is present in meta-oe and not in the core. I now have
several layers that pull in all of meta-oe just for being able to number GIT
versions incrementally.
Could gitpkgv be moved into oe-core? (I'll be happy to write and submit the
patch.) Or, is there an alternative that does something similar?
Kind regards,
Mike.
