It is possible for the source to not be located in a git repository
(e.g. source is from a tarball). In which case the git repository
information is not available. This results in the mym4_revision being an
empty string however this value is used in BUILD_FILEVERSION where it is
assumed to be 4 decimal values. Additionally BUILD_REVISION uses this
value and is also assumed to be non-empty.

In the case of BUILD_FILEVERSION it is used in versioninfo.rc.in, where
it must be populated as 4 decimal values due to the expected syntax. In
cases where it is not (e.g. when BUILD_FILEVERSION = '1,7,5,' a syntax
error is raised.

    windres: versioninfo.rc.in:21: syntax error

This patch changes mym4_revision so that if the 'git rev-parse' returns
non-zero (e.g. not in a git repository) the value falls back to '0'.
This propagates as '0' to both BUILD_FILEVERSION and BUILD_REVISION.
