main git branch version name is confusing

[AskAlexSharov]

if switch to main git branch and run make erigon we will see 3.00.0-alpha7-03575f47 - it's confusing.
not clear - is it alpha7 or not.

The logic described here:

erigon/Makefile

Line 11 in 06cdf41

GIT_TAG ?= $(shell git describe --tags '--match=*.*.*' --abbrev=7 --dirty)

what is your expectations here?

Maybe we can do git describe --tags --exact-match 2>/dev/null || git rev-parse --short HEAD. This would show the tag name on the tagged commit, and the commit hash on non-tagged commits.
