Subject: [PATCH 1/3] - Add GIT Version number
Message-ID: <2230.10.10.10.24.1116700329.squirrel@linux1>
URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/2230.10.10.10.24.1116700329.squirrel%40linux1

```

Add a version number to the GIT Makefile; lifted from the Linux kernel
source.  Once set, the version number will be reported by the "--version"
option on git commands that are converted to argp argument processing.

The version number was arbitrarily set to 0.5.0 as a starting point, but
obviously you can change it as you see fit.
