* fix #303 and #283 by adding the option git_describe_command to allow the user to control the way that [git describe]{.title-ref} is called.

• no longer alias tag and parsed_version in order to support understanding a version parse failure

• introduce support for branch name in version metadata and support a opt-in simplified semver version scheme

• fix regression in git support - use a function to ensure it works in egg installed mode

• actually fail if file finding fails in order to see broken setups instead of generating broken dists
