Remember, it's a hack for an svnversion equivalent; most people refer  
to a build of x264 by the number that svnversion reports.  If you tag  
only one commit, versioning for higher commits breaks down.

For example:

git-tag -m "git-746" git-746 233a760dc99fe8a6cc401b711ffb3a3c90f8a5fa

But build from the current HEAD, which svnversion would report as 748:

#define X264_VERSION "git-746-2-g397d1bf"
#define X264_POINTVER "0.58.git-746-2-g397d1bf"

As it stands now, the patch provides everything that svnversion does  
with the exception of mixed revisions, which apparently aren't  
supported in git.
