> From patch to be attached:
> {noformat}
> Make git more attractive for managing work-in-progress. Especially
> convenient when a potential patch set needs to be tested on multiple
> platforms since one can use git to keep all the test environments in
> sync independent of a subversion server.
> Now the Asterisk version will show the exact git SHA5 that was used
> when building (still appended by "M" if there are local
> modifications) from a git clone of the Asterisk repository so the
> developer can more easily know what is actually under test.
> You will now get this:
>   $ asterisk -V
>   Asterisk GIT-1698298
> Instead of this:
>   $ asterisk -V
>   Asterisk UNKNOWN__and_probably_unsupported
> This has zero impact for those not using git with the exception of
> an extra test in the configure script to gather the path of the git.
> This is necessary to prevent "sudo make install" from failing since
> git may not be in the path in make's shell environment.
> {noformat}
