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, a second file will be created that
contains 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.
