The patch itself is good, it just needs a change to
scripts/setlocalversion to suppress output when at a tagged commit.



scripts: suppress setlocalversion output if at tagged commit

It's unnecessary, even for CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO configs, to append
the "git describe" output to the version string if there are no revisions
beyond a tagged commit.

When the git respository was at the v2.6.32-rc4 tagged commit, for
example, the previous code would output "-00000-rc4," which is
unnecessary.

The comment in scripts/setlocalversion pertaining to this behavior need
not be changed since the implementation now conforms to the description.
