Subject: Check revision and if no files modified (looking for svnversion equivalent)
Message-ID: <20111009162902.GA3000@comppasch2>

Hi,

in my subversion software repository I use the 'svnversion'
command to do both:

- get the last revision (e.g. r1001)
- check for modified files not yet checked in (e.g. r1001 M)

Both information is required for the application's build
process (Makefiles):

- to display the version in the application
- to refuse to build a proper 'release' version if something
  was not checked in

Would there be a way to do both in git somehow?
