-# Use `git describe` to get current version if we're inside a git repo
+# When building from a git repository, derive the version from the most recent
+# release tag instead. The result follows Semantic Versioning 2.0.0, using the
+# number of commits made since that tag as build metadata, so seven commits
+# after the v1.3.1 tag gives "v1.3.1+7", while a build of the tag itself gives
+# plain "v1.3.1". Release tags are expected to be named vMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH.
