Git is always used to generate the KiCad version string using the
command `git describe --dirty`. This gives a more concise and
accurate version string than the previous method. When git is not
available, the version string defaults to the value defined in
KiCadVersion.cmake. It is imperative that moving forward that the
default version string be updated the commit following a git tag
so that when git is not available, the last known commit following
a git tag will at least give some usable information about which
development branch of KiCad was used for a build.
Define empty string variable KICAD_BRANCH_NAME that can be used as an
optional version string element. When git is used to build the version
string, this variable is set to the git branch name. It can also be
defined at configuration time as an optional string appended to the
$KICAD_VERSION variable.
Define empty string variable KICAD_VERSION_EXTRA that can be set by
the user at configuration.
The variables KICAD_BRANCH_NAME and KICAD_VERSION_EXTRA are only
appended to KICAD_VERSION if they are set. Otherwise, only KICAD_VERSION
is uses as the version string.
Update the developer building from source document to reflect the changes.
Remove the KICAD_REPO_NAME option from the main cmake file and the
generated config.h file since it is no longer used.
Set the default branch name to "undefined" in CreateGitVersionHeader.cmake
instead of the KICAD_REPO_NAME option.
Remove generating KICAD_FULL_VERSION from CreateGitVersionHeader.cmake
and add it to WriteVersionHeader.cmake so that the default settings and
the new KiCadVersion.cmake definitions can be used to generate the full
version string as well.
Check to see if the branch name is set and only use the version to
generate the full version string. This allows the use of the KiCad
version cmake file to create a version only string like "4.0.4" with
no trailing branch name.
Change build_version.cpp to use the full version string rather than
concatenating the version and branch strings.
Before, only KICAD_BUILD_VERSION, which includes the hash but not the
branch, was compared when deciding whether to regenerate
kicad_build_version.h. This header also contains the branch name though,
so we should compare both to address the case of two branches pointing
at the same commit.
It is no longer necessary (or sensible) to include a simulated bzr
revision number, and we can reliably get a branch name now. Therefore,
the new version strings look like:
(2016-08-26 revision 67230ac)-master
| | |
| | branch name, "HEAD" if not on a branch,
| | or "unknown" if no .git present
| |
| abbreviated commit hash, or no-git if no .git
| present
|
date of commit, or date of build if no .git present

* Add CreateGitVersionHeader.cmake to extract git version information to create the kicad version
header.
* Add check for .git folder in source path to trigger git version CMake macro.
