Instead of having to change the version number manually, it would be better to
generate the version number from the git tag. For that there is a very handy
command called 'describe'.
git describe for a commit that have a tag pointing to it, returns the tag name.
What's also nice about it is if there isn't the command prints tag-n-hash,
where is the name of the last tag found, n is the number of commits on top of
it and hash is the current hash. This can make very easy to detect if a
compiler is a real release or a development snapshot and would make easier to
report bugs for betas, since you can tell exactly which snapshot you're using.
I will also suggest using the --dirty option to tell if the working copy was
"dirty" (with uncommitted changes) too.
