In snapshot builds of git, git-version uses a modified variant of the
git-describe output, e.g. 2.51.0.178.g2462961280 instead of
2.51.0-178-g2462961280 for seemingly historical reasons.
This is not semver compliant which makes the output harder to parse in
tooling such as b4, which currently errors out when using a snapshot
build of git.
For snapshot builds, use as version string the unmodified git-describe
output with only the leading v stripped from the tag.
Fixes: 5c7d3c9507f7 ("Allow building of RPM from interim snapshot.")
