+# The ComplianceasCode/content uses git tag in an uncommon way.
+# That's why this elaborate command is used to get somehow meaningful version.
+# The project uses tags, but they describe commits which are not in the master branch.
+# Instead, they describe commits which are marked as final in stabilization branches.
+# These branches are temporary and they are deleted after stabilization finishes.
+# That is the reason why the regular "git describe --long" command cannot be used in this place.
+# Instead the latest tag is selected with some heuristics added, stored in the $tag variable.
+# Then number of commits between the tag and the current head is calculated and stored in the $numcommits variable.
+# Then the HEAD short commit hash is added.
