Summary:                    [patch] Generate a version when asterisk is built in
a git repository
Description: 
Currently asterisk knows to generate version.h from two potential sources:

1. a .version file in the source tree. This is used for tarballs or
tarballs.
2. 'svn info' when building an a subversion repository and there's no
.version file.

This patch adds handling to building in a git repository, similar to (2):

* Like in (2), the numeric version number is 999999.
* Unlike in (2), though, I could not think of a nice way to derive a text
version string. Thus the version name is simply "GIT".

Without the Makefile part of this patch, building fails in a git
repository (specifically: at res/res_snmp.c). Thus I do not consider it a
feature.

The current patch is vs. 1.4. A similar patch should probably work vs.
1.6. I'll add one soon.

Always output a version string, even when we can't figure out what we are.
