For whatever it's worth, our projects define a `buildnum` git alias:
alias.buildnum=!sh -c "git rev-list --all | wc -l"
So from the shell:
$ git buildnum
17475
This number increases monotonically per commit.
Our build scripts make this number available in various #define forms.
(We use a little extra scripting logic to also determine whether there
are currently any unmerged or uncommitted changes, and add an annotation
to the program version in that case, e.g. "9.3.17475 [unmerged]")
It's all stupidly simple, but seems to work well enough for us.
Regards,
Bill
