Having the habit to configure latest/up-to-date Nmap version from git
repository, I figured it would be nice to have it report current commit ID
(!) when using --version, instead of the normal %VERSION%SVN output :

ionreflex@maia:~$ nmap --version
> Nmap version 7.60SVN ( https://nmap.org )
> ...


... versus :

ionreflex@maia:~$ nmap --version
> Nmap version 7.60-62810c3 ( https://nmap.org )
> ...


I don't know if it would be much work, but this is something that I thought
of.

Thank you,
