versiongit 1.0

Tool for adding version from git to a python project without adding dependencies

VersionGit is a tool for managing the version number of Python modules, removing the need to update an embedded version string whenever a Git tag is made, and providing sensible development version numbers too. It does this by storing a single file in the source repo that reads the version from git describe or git archive keywords. At build time, this file is modified in the distribution to contain a static version number to be used in preference to this. This tool is inspired by versioneer, but has a vastly reduced feature set so that the code stored in each module is minimal.
