I think there are 2 cases for the version string I'd like.

If I have made local edits, I want the build date.  That's the best summary of 
the edits I've made.

If I have a clean clone I want the git tag.  If I have a tarball, I want 
whatever the tarball provides.

If you hang out with geeks in this area, they want to know everything: the 
version of the compiler, the compiler flags, ... the OS the compiler is 
running on...  as well as the parameters to configure.  That ends up with the 
version string being a tag for a slot in a database.
