I tried to fresh build and install of 1.1.0 on top of the previous
1.1.0 build but "git --version" is still displaying me "git version 1.0.GIT"

You need to build from a git repository for these automated
version numbers to work, and this will *not* change post 1.1.1.

But with the patch I sent out earlier, you should be able to:

	$ VN=1.1.1 make

in a non-git repository (e.g. an untarred directory from a
tarball).  What the patch fixes is to fix it for RPM binary
packages.

I expect that people building from the source do so from a git
repository not from a tarball, except when bootstrapping, so
hopefully this should not be too much of a problem.

Tarballs really should work as-is... the easy way to deal with that is 
to have the tarball make script generate a version file which isn't part 
of the git tree.

I'll send a patch under a separate cover.
