[lttng-dev] [lttng-tools PATCH (correction)] Add a git version line in LTTng versions compiled from git sources.

[Christian Babeux]

Hi Raphaël,

I wonder if we would like to also have the same information when
running lttng-sessiond --version?

Would it be possible to put such a define in a header file, perhaps
config.h? I think the downside of this approach is that it would
require a rebuild of all files that include config.h each time your
git index is modified (commit, pull, etc.), though I'm not entirely
sure of this.

Thanks,

Christian
