GIT describe output regex to get commit data

My git describe --long outputs the following:

version-2.7.0-0-g10064b7
      ^       ^   ^
      |       |   |
      |       |   |
      |       |   |--> git commit hash
      |       |------> commit number since last tag
      |--------------> tag

Now, I want to use regex to get the commit number since last tag and git commit hash for my C# program.

How can this be achieved using regex?

You can test your regex easily at http://regexpal.com/ To capture consecutive numbers use a character group [0-9], which is short for [0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]. Dots need to be escaped with a backslash: \. The rest should be trivial.
