Hello,

git-describe gives an informative string about the current status: tfoerste@n22 ~/devel/linux-2.6 $ git describe v2.6.26-rc9-56-g6329d30

I appended those strings to the names of my UML kernel executables. Unfortunately I didn't used the commit id and now I'm wondering whether git could accept v2.6.26-rc9-56 as well in future.
