When building zsh with a custom patch level you cannot quickly see which
patchlevel you are on via `zsh --version'. When using zsh on Debian or
in my case, where I run the git version of zsh the patch level is hidden
in an environment variable ZSH_PATCHLEVEL. Git for example shows you the
git revision when issues `git --version' as seen here:
$ git --version
git version 2.33.0.113.g6c40894d24
This shows directly what version a user is running without having to
know about ZSH_PATCHLEVEL.
Because I'm not aware how downstream deals with a difference in version
strings I've decided to add it to the vendor/os type bit. Debian for
example uses `debian/5.8-6+b2' as a patch level. This would probably
break scripts which expect `zsh x.y.z' if the patch level replaced the
ZSH_VERSION string.
After this patch is applied, you get to see the following version string
after you configured zsh with `--enable-custom-patchlevel=$(git describe)':
$ ./Src/zsh --version
zsh 5.8.0.2-dev (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/zsh-5.8-481-g64befeb4c)

JFTR: That's not completely correct. Only "5.8-6" is the patch level.
"+b2" is the build counter for binary packages rebuilt from the same
source code against usually newer build-dependencies. (And "debian/"
is just the tag prefix in git, but there are never build counts like
"+b2" present in git tags in Debian.)
Kind regards, Axel (with his Debian hat on :-)

Adding the git revision there makes sense, I suppose, but why should
this only be done when that configure option is used? The git revision
is added to ZSH_PATCHLEVEL (which is a shell variable, not an
environment variable) by default, without needing any configure flags.
Or another perspective: CUSTOM_PATCHLEVEL is used to cause
$ZSH_PATCHLEVEL to be set to something other than its default. So,
why shouldn't the #else branch emit the default value of $ZSH_PATCHLEVEL?
tl;dr: Why not include the (build's default) value of $ZSH_PATCHLEVEL in
the output?
Cheers,
Daniel
