Description Amar Tumballi 2019-04-18 16:56:39 UTC 
Description of problem:
Right now, a full clone of glusterfs repo needs 148MB of size, but a clone with '--depth 1' option needs just 4MB. It makes sense to use this option in many of the smoke tests and CI/CD environments, so that we save time, bandwidth, and storage.

But, right now, we can't 'build' any RPMs with this option.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
mainline (april-18th-2019)

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/gluster/glusterfs.git glusterfs-depth-1
2. cd glusterfs-depth-1; ./autogen.sh && ./configure && make -C extras/LinuxRPM/ glusterrpms
3. You see the error like below
```
rpmbuild --define '_topdir /home/atumball/work/gluster/glusterfs-container-tests/extras/LinuxRPM/rpmbuild' -bs rpmbuild/SPECS/glusterfs.spec
error: line 231: Empty tag: Version:
make: *** [Makefile:573: srcrpm] Error 1

```



Expected results:
build should pass.

Additional info:
The issue is with executing ./build-aux/pkg-version script.

[atumball@localhost glusterfs-depth-1]$ ./build-aux/pkg-version --full
fatal: No names found, cannot describe anything.
