There seems to be nothing better than having a VERSION file in the filestore and no mention of version in the build specification. Simple and controllable.

The advantage of generating the file using "git describe" is that one
does not have to repeat the version in the file and in a git tag. Also
if you're building on a commit that does not have a tag associated with
it, it will give back a different version, i.e. the latest tag + a hash.
