 #! \brief Extract version information from a local working copy
 #!
 #! If the source_dir variable points to a git repository, this function
 #! extracts the current revision hash and branch/tag name.
 #
 #! The information is provided in
 #! <ul>
 #!  <li> ${prefix}_REVISION_ID The git hash
 #!  <li> ${prefix}_REVISION_SHORTID The short git hash (8 digits)
 #!  <li> ${prefix}_REVISION_NAME The git branch/tag name or empty
 #!  <li> ${prefix}_WC_TYPE The working copy type, one of "local", or "git"
 #! </ul>
 #!
 #! \param source_dir The directory containing a working copy
 #! \param prefix A prefix to prepend to the variables containing
 #!               the extracted information.
