Restrict the tags used to generate the version string to those that
begin with "v", since git's tags for git-core (ie. excluding git-gui)
are all of the form "vX.Y...".
This is to avoid using private tags by the user in a clone of the git
code repository, which may break certain machinery (eg. Makefile, gitk).

The next major release will be 1.6.5, hopefully with a shorter cycle
than the 1.6.4 cycle. After that in 1.7.0 we can make potentially
backward incompatible changes if necessary.

We used to mark the version string with '-dirty' if the cache was not up
to date, but the only thing we want to know is if the binaries are built
from modified source. Refresh the cache to avoid false dirtyness.
Christian Jaeger noticed this issue while building under fakeroot
environment (without -u) that lies about the file ownership data.

The presence of a .git directory used to be good enough evidence that
GIT-VERSION-GEN could use 'git describe' to get a version number. But
now .git might as well be a file so the test must be extended to cater for
such setups.

The rate of fixes that trickle in has slowed and we are definitely
getting there. Hopefully one final round and we will have the final
1.5.5 soon.

Although everybody was quiet during the Christmas holiday, it's been
a week since -rc1, so here is -rc2.

HPA noticed that yum does not like the newer git RPM set; it turns out
that we do not ship git-p4 anymore but existing installations do not
realize the package is gone if we do not tell anything about it.
David Kastrup suggests using Obsoletes in the spec file of the new
RPM to replace the old package, so here is a try.
