[erlang-questions] customizing the rebar-generated .app file

[Joel Reymont]

rebar is being too clever here. 

Suppose you are using git and are in the top level of the project when building, as you should be. 

rebar will default the version to "git describe --always --tags `git log -n 1 --pretty=format:%h .`".

rebar will not let you override this version string.
