Subject: bug#42212: [PATCH 0/1] Use nearest tag as the version string in documentation.
Date: Sat, 18 Jul 2020 05:25:02 +0530

We can't actually use (guix config) since it doesn't have a useful version
number in this stage of the build process. See the use of make-config.scm in
build-program of build-aux/build-self.scm.

We need to use the nearest tag but that requires the git repo and we drop that
in the channel checkout. See use of dot-git? in latest-channel-instance of
(guix channels). To remedy this, I am generating .version before discarding
the git repo.

WDYT?
