Even easier is "git describe" which tells you the most recent tag, and how
many commits your branch is beyond that tag:

[adilger at cabot lustre-git]$ git describe
2.1.0-RC1-6-g434ab3e

and at the top of lustre/autoconf/lustre-version.m4 is the version that
will be used when building Lustre:

[adilger at cabot lustre-git]$ head lustre/autoconf/lustre-version.ac 
m4_define([LUSTRE_MAJOR],[2])
m4_define([LUSTRE_MINOR],[1])
m4_define([LUSTRE_PATCH],[0])
m4_define([LUSTRE_FIX],[0])
