I have run into a problem with make/install of git on my old travel

yesterdays next (coincidental timing) I'm finding that the generated
git version is the default value rather than that of a regular 'get 
describe' as used in GIT_VERSION_GEN.

Yup, we've been discussing on this issue since the Git 2.35.3 (and
friends) and Git 2.36 release.

I think the last round:

  https://lore.kernel.org/git/20220513010020.55361-1-carenas@gmail.com/ (local)

is more or less done, so perhaps we should start merging it down to
'next' and all the way down to the older maintenance tracks like
maint-2.30 that are affected.

Thanks.
