When you ``make autoloads'', it runs ``git describe --abbrev=6 HEAD''
and uses the resulting string to create a new org-version.el file. That
file is then used from that point on. And yes, ``git describe''
calculates the name by counting how many commits past the latest
available tag there are (on the appropriate branch).
