Make GIT-VERSION-GEN tolerate missing git describe command
I think it is probably a bug that "git non_existent_command" returns its error message to stdout without an error, where "git-non_existent_command" behaves differently and does return an error. Older versions of git did not implement "git describe" and GIT-VERSION-GEN produces an empty version string if run on a system with such a git installed. The consequence is that "make rpm" fails. This patch fixes GIT-VERSION-GEN so that it works in the absence of a working "git describe" Signed-off-by: John Ellson <ellson@research.att.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
