$ git log

   then look at the revision ID of the top commit -- that's the
closest thing to a version number we've got. When you build from the
git repository, the version number that the tools report will be
something like 0.19-36-g70c6c10. This means that it's 36 commits on
from the version tagged as 0.19, and the last commit was g70c6c10.

   (This is for the userspace tools, of course -- the kernel has a
similar numbering scheme, if you're not building from Linus's tagged
versions).
