[PATCH] kbuild: automatically append a short string to the version based upon the git commit

If CONFIG_AUTO_LOCALVERSION is set, the user is using a git-based tree, and the
current HEAD is not referred to by any tags in .git/refs/tags/, append -g and
the first 8 characters of the commit to the version string.  This makes it
easier to use git-bisect, and/or to do a daily build, without trampling on your
older, working builds, or accidentally setting up conflicting sets of modules.

# A 'release tree' is any tree with a git TAG associated
# with it. The primary goal of this is to make it safe for a native
# git/CVS/SVN user to build a release tree (i.e, 2.6.9) and also to
# continue developing against the current Linus tree, without having the Linus
# tree overwrite the 2.6.9 tree when installed.
#
# Currently, only git is supported.
# Other SCMs can edit scripts/setlocalversion and add the appropriate
# checks as needed.

This will try to automatically determine if the current tree is a
release tree by looking for git tags that
belong to the current top of tree revision.
A string of the format -gxxxxxxxx will be added to the localversion
if a git based tree is found. The string generated by this will be
appended after any matching localversion* files, and after the value
set in CONFIG_LOCALVERSION
Note: This requires Perl, and a git repository, but not necessarily
the git or cogito tools to be installed.
