Show git version numbers - Windows

Two components are required to use this process.

1. The Batch File as presented

2. The revtag.sh shell script

Special Thanks to SMXY (shaun) @ OSGrid for the pointing me in the right direction with the shell script.

Usage:

Copy the batch file to your desktop and edit the pathing to match your system.

Copy the revtag.sh into the git reposity as commented in the batch file.  NOTE! is you perform a git clean this revtag.sh will be removed form the folder structure therefore you will have to copy it back in, I suggest you have a copy of it handy somewhere.

The Batch File:  GIT_Ver.bat

echo off
