Sure, I'll do that. Then, perhaps we should even rewrite git-version-gen
using (git describe). It would be nice to have that in guile too. WDYT?

Yes, but I discard the commit part of git-version-gen's output. I keep
only the tag part.
But, like zimoun, I didn't understand why we can't rebuild the manual
every commit. Rebuilding the manual is quite cheap. So, substituting it
shouldn't be a problem, right?

This sounds good. I'll try it and get back to you.
