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 ??)
