Subject: build: Allow environment EXIM_RELEASE_VERSION
X-Git-Tag: exim-4.95-RC0~84
X-Git-Url: https://git.exim.org/exim.git/commitdiff_plain/47e7b0467bf1af70378ed5fd4accfb4da60e38bb

build: Allow environment EXIM_RELEASE_VERSION

This should easy automated testing where no .git directory
is available (as is happens with git worktrees)

Setting this environment variable makes the reversion script
using it instead of searching for version.sh or using `git describe`.
