2106,git_describe configuration value not correct,pmichaud,cotto,"After performing ""git pull"" and receiving new commits and running ""make"", the value of ""git_describe"" reported by parrot_config and ""parrot --version"" is incorrect.  A re-run of Configure.pl is needed to bring the values up to date.

Rakudo solves this problem by calculating the git-describe value at the time Rakudo is built.  The larger source has a static {{{.include ""src/gen/version.pir""}}} -- the Makefile then generates src/gen/version.pir to contain
{{{
    .macro_const RAKUDO_VERSION ""<git-describe-value>""
    .macro_const RAKUDO_BUILD_DATE ""<rakudo-build-date>""
}}}

Hope this helps.
