-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 According to Bruno Haible on 3/14/2008 5:52 PM: | This does not tell me anything. If in 6 months sometimes says "my gnulib | is version 0.0.430-8915-dirty", how do I find out what date it is?
git log 8915 | Also, the suffix "-dirty" is a bit offensive. How about "-unreleased" or | "-dev", or "-alpha" or "-cuttingedge", or "-mm" (for Linux fans :-)? That's something for Jim to decide, with the git-version-gen script. But given those options, I like '-dev'. At any rate, the '-dirty' suffix is only present if you have uncommitted changes still in your tree. | | - In a cvs checkout | $ cvs -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/gnulib.git co -d gnulib HEAD | I get | | $ ./gnulib-tool --version | ./gnulib-tool (GNU gnulib) UNKNOWN Again, the git-version-gen script could probably be made smarter in a CVS checkout, and it would benefit more than just gnulib-tool. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
