No, the only way for that to happen would be if the rails port itself
was changed to output `git describe` on some version page, or if the
live version was otherwise made public.

While git://git.openstreetmap.org/rails.git may contain changes that
haven't gone live yet it's a pretty sure bet that changes there /will/
go live. So you should track it if you want the "real" version.
