Yes, this patch would fix the version tag too.

The patch I wrote also reports a commit id even in the case when no
tag is found. This was the original reason why I stumbled over this.
Assume a repository for testing there you just push the commit id to.
This does not contain any tags but a valid commit id. Now, it
determines the version tag from the makefile but does not drop the
commit id.
