Some distributions are using Git for part of their package
management system, but unpack Git's own source code for
delivery from the .tar.gz. This means that when we walk
up the directory tree with git-describe to locate a Git
repository, the repository we find is for the distribution
and *not* for git-gui. Consequently any tag we might find
there is bogus and does not apply to us.
In this case the version file should always exist and be
readable, as the packager is working from the released
.tar.gz sources. So we should always favor the version
file over anything git-describe guess for us.

This is the start of the 0.6 series of git-gui. I'm calling it 0.6
(rather than any other value) as I already had a private tag on
one system based on 0.5, and that tag is quite a bit behind this
version.

When we are included as a subproject, such as how git.git carries
us, we want to retain our own version number and not the version
number assigned by git.git's own tags. Consequently we need to
locate the correct tag which applies to our tree content and
its commit lineage.

I've decided to use gitgui-0.5 as the format for tags in the
git-gui repository. The prefix of gitgui was chosen here to
make its namespace different from the namespace used by git
itself, allowing developers to pull both tag namespaces into
the same repository.

Now that the decision has been made to treat git-gui as a
subproject, rather than merging it directly into git, we
should use a different substitution for our version value
to avoid any possible confusion.

I'm stealing the exact logic used by core Git within its own Makefile to
setup the version number within scripts and executables. This way we
can be sure that the version number is always updated after a commit,
and that the version number also reflects when it is coming from a dirty
working directory (and is thus pretty worthless).
I've cleaned up some of the version display code in the about dialog too.
There were simply too many blank lines in the bottom section where we
showed the version data.
