=head1 NAME
Dist::Zilla::Plugin::Git::Describe - add the results of `git describe` (roughly) to your main module
=head1 VERSION
version 0.008
=head1 SYNOPSIS
in dist.ini
[Git::Describe]
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This plugin will add the long-form git commit description for the current repo
to the dist's main module as a comment. It may change, in the future, to put
things in a package variable, or to provide an option.
It inserts this in the same place that PkgVersion would insert a version.
=head1 PERL VERSION
This module should work on any version of perl still receiving updates from
the Perl 5 Porters. This means it should work on any version of perl released
in the last two to three years. (That is, if the most recently released
version is v5.40, then this module should work on both v5.40 and v5.38.)
Although it may work on older versions of perl, no guarantee is made that the
minimum required version will not be increased. The version may be increased
for any reason, and there is no promise that patches will be accepted to lower
the minimum required perl.
=head1 ATTRIBUTES
=head2 on_package_line
If true, then the comment is added to the same line as the package declaration.
Otherwise, it is added on its own line, with an additional blank line following it.
Defaults to false.
