This hardly gives enough of information. For example, what's the output of 'git show dev' and 'git show HEAD'?

By the way, Unix script works finely, and it doesn't do any "git describe" at all. Maybe something has changed in our tags, and Windows script simply wasn't updated? And, yeh, the bug has been there for several weeks (don't remember the exact moment, when it started happening).

I'd certainly like to switch to using git-describe directly (it only
does what it does because I was working around the unavailability of
git describe on older test machines) but I know the IDE depends on the
exact version string so it needs to be coordinated.

If we used git describe our version strings would now look (at least
in part) like this:

v2.10.0-M1-79-g0f75c10703

We could throw the date in there too.

So can it be

v2.10.0-M1-79-g0f75c10703-2012-01-29

?
