Hello All

It seems that gcc/Makefile.in and friends support that the gcc/REVISION 
contains some revision numbering.
Why does gcc/REVISION in the trunk svn does not contains something like

$Revision$

or perhaps having the gcc/Makefile.in containing something like around line 805

REVISION := $(shell svn info $(srcdir) |  $(AWK) '/Revision/{print $$2}')

or some more robust trick?

I mean, there is very probably a way to retrieve automagically the svn revision 
number of the trunk.
If it is not used, I would believe there are profound reasons for that. Which 
ones?


(or perhaps I am wrong in regularily updating my trunk's copy with svn update 
??)


Regards.
