[PATCH v3 3/6] Makefile: introduce template for GIT-VERSION-GEN

From
Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im>
Date
Dec 20, 2024, 19:44 UTC
Message-ID
<20241220-b4-pks-git-version-via-environment-v3-3-1fd79b52a5fb@pks.im>
In-Reply-To
<20241220-b4-pks-git-version-via-environment-v3-0-1fd79b52a5fb@pks.im>

Introduce a new template to call GIT-VERSION-GEN. This will allow us to iterate on how exactly the script is called in subsequent commits without having to adapt all call sites every time.

Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im>
