[Distutils] PEP 386 and git versioning scheme

Hi.

In a project I'm working on, I use git, and I'm trying to follow the
versioning scheme used by the git project (since it is very pratical).

To summarize, git version is generated from the output of
"git describe" command, replacing the '-' character with '.'.

git describe returns a string formed by using the most recent tag
(e.g. 1.8.1, 1.8.1.rc1), and adding the number of revisions after that
tag, and the short ID of the current revision
(e.g v1.8.1-301-ga0df26f).

So, a version may be something like: v1.8.1.301.ga0df26f

It seems that this versioning scheme is not compatible with PEP 386 "new
versioning scheme". Is this true?



Thanks   Manlio Perillo
