Thanks for the feedback!  Looking at this again, I realized tags would
not be used as version either which seemed like an oversight.  So I
fixed(?) that too and vastly simplified this patch.  :-)

Also adjusted the test to more thoroughly excercise the new
commit->version-string procedure with the different arguments, and
updated the documentation.

Pushed in:
  1dc3825e99 git: 'resolve-reference' handles 'git describe'-style commit IDs.
  16ef7b4938 transformations: Git tags and 'git describe' style IDs are used as version.

Thanks,
Marius
