If you use git-describe, it will show the closest reachable tag.
Here's what happens in xserver right now on the master branch:

$ git describe
xorg-server-1.3.99.0-63-g2c57f76

This says that the most recent tag was xorg-server-1.3.99.0 and there
have been 63 commits since then. The last part is g followed by the
commit id (HEAD in this case). You could also throw another commit
type at it:

$ git describe origin/server-1.4-branch
xorg-server-1.3.99.0-42-g2bf6cb3
