Third time a charm, I think.  Pierre's suggestion showed the way.  The  
tree will have to be tagged for this to work as it should; I've  
attached a script to do that (tagit.sh).  The script places a tag for  
each commit - "svn-#" for the old svn tree and "git-#" for the git  
commits.

Still a little ugly with checking for uncommitted mods, but it works.

Uncommited modifications are marked like this:

#define X264_VERSION "git-748M"
#define X264_POINTVER "0.58.git-748"

Local commits (git-describe is polite enough to add part of the commit  
hash automatically):

#define X264_VERSION "git-748-1-g100220a"
#define X264_POINTVER "0.58.git-748-1-g100220a"

And successive local commits:

#define X264_VERSION "git-748-2-geb6f131"
#define X264_POINTVER "0.58.git-748-2-geb6f131"
