We just do it this way:

As one of the very first steps:

    addStep(SetPropertyFromCommand(command=["git", "describe"],
        workdir="source", property="version"))

And then just use the "version" property instead of "got_revision".

Also has the benefit of getting the name of the last tag into the string 
(useful for package names).
