[PATCH] setlocalversion: do not append git commit hash if localversion* exists

From: Masahiro Yamada
Date: Tue Jan 31 2023 - 08:33:55 EST


Since commit dcfbcb1033bb ("setlocalversion: use only the correct
release tag for git-describe"), KERNELRELEASE of linux-next is
annoyingly long:

$ make kernelrelease
6.2.0-rc6-next-20230131-09515-g80bd9028feca

The string '-09515-g80bd9028feca' is appended because git-describe now
uses the v6.2.0 tag instead of the next-20230113 tag.

In linux-next, the 'localversion-next' file well specifies the local
version, so the extra info from git is unneeded.
