I'm currently using a collection of three commands to get the current tag, branch and the date and SHA1 of the most recent commit.
git describe --always --tag
git log -1 --format="%H%n%aD"
git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD
Which will output something like:
1.2.3-gdeadbeef
deadbeef3b8d90071c24f51ac8f26ce97a72727b

To be honest, I'm totally fine with this. But I'm using these commands from Maven and anyone who'd used Maven before, knows how much things like external commands bloat the POM. I just want to slim down my pom.xml and maybe reduce execution time a bit.
