+ 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.
+
+ (The actual string used here is the first eight characters produced
+ by running the command:
+
+ $ git rev-parse --verify HEAD
+
+ which is done within the script "scripts/setlocalversion".)
