the main reason to put the date in the version is
to assure that subsequent releases from git repository
will be considered higher by setup and offered as "New"
package

Using only the git tag you can not reach the scope
these are the latest commits on the Rsync code
and we can not say from the tag alone which is the latest

  $ git log --oneline |head
8809f65b A couple minor tweaks.
5710d2fe Simplify the capabilities array.
bcb0a24a Convert NEWS & OLDNEWS into .md files.
96ed96da Fix the parsing of the --version capabilities.
8ad2ca9a Install yodl for the CI builds.
23a37eca Get indent right.
47bae3ab Improve output of capabilities in --version list.
dff9dd56 Remove xxhash from capabilities list.
7182508a Fix a couple deb names.
cb0fe9e1 Improve CI setup.

I see the maintainer have tested his
choice of f7746d0 and he saw no reason to pack
the older 3.1.3

specially as 3.1.3 was NOT building under cygwin
