The script now uses 8 characters by default for the abbreviated SHA1.

"through the sphinx command line" ? configuration_data() is an internal
meson concept.

Time to split this on multiple lines ? :-)

Maybe join_paths(meson.source_root(), 'utils', 'gen-version.sh') ?

s/:/ :/ in all the lines above.

I don't think we should run the script here. This value becomes
accessible in meson.project_version(), which is the default fallback for
the vcs_tag() function, and should be used when no version control is
available (for instance in the case of release tarballs). Here what I
propose doing instead:

- In this file:

libcamera_version = run_command('utils/gen-version.sh',
                                '@0@'.format(meson.source_root()),
				check : true).stdout().strip()
if libcamera_version == ''
    libcamera_version = 'v0.0'
endif

project(
    ...
    version : libcamera_version,
    ...
)

- In include/libcamera/meson.build:

version_h = vcs_tag(command : ['echo', libcamera_version],
                    input: 'version.h.in',
                    output: 'version.h')

That we we only run the script once, and have a canonical location for
the tarball release version in the root meson.build. What do you think ?

If you can exit here when the tree isn't under git control then we'll be
ready for tarball releases.
