This code should believe the $SETUP_POMS environment variable about
what version it is, if there is one; if there isn't a version there,
then we could ask git for a tag or whatever...

Target version set to v2_1_1

Of course, this is also wrong, as we move to non-UPS distribution of POMS...

Sigh.

Okay, so now we try the git describe bit to get a tag, and if we get it , cache it in $POMS_DIR/.version. If we fail to get the tag from git, we read the version data from $POMS_DIR/.version. in either case, the call to git has stderr redirected to /dev/null, so we should never see any errors it prints.
