This automatically embeds git version information into tarballs built with git-archive. This even works for tarballs downloaded from Github. Essentially the same trick as in YosysHQ/yosys#3138 with one complication: git-tag information is not available to the export-subst (see gitattributes(5)) format string so we use the commit date instead. We retain the current git-describe based string for git checkouts but it might be advisable to align this to be the HEAD commit date plus commit hash too.
