If not, elaborate the inconvenience. *I* might expect the displayed version info to contain reasonably consistent information. How often is the VERSION file changed? Is the VERSION file meaningful only at the time of a release and can change 'drastically' between releases? Or should it contain data like "tag: v2.87rc1, origin/master, origin/HEAD" through the life of rc1 (for example)?
