On windows executing
"pkgversion=$(git describe --match 'v*' --dirty --always | echo "")"
$ bash ./scripts/qemu-version.sh . '' ''
#define QEMU_PKGVERSION ""
#define QEMU_FULL_VERSION ""

The result are empty.

By removing echo ""
        pkgversion=$(git describe --match 'v*' --dirty --always)
the result are
```
$ bash ./scripts/qemu-version.sh . '' ''
#define QEMU_PKGVERSION "v5.1.0-1922-g94f35f943a-dirty"
#define QEMU_FULL_VERSION " (v5.1.0-1922-g94f35f943a-dirty)"
```

What are expected?
