There's a catch, though: The numbers don't match up. To begin with, the first number is 89: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ r89 | unknown | 1997-10-31 09:39:32 -0800 (Fri, 31 Oct 1997) | 3 lines New repository initialized by cvs2svn. git-svn-id: svn+ssh://svn.gnucash.org/repo/gnucash/gnucash/trunk@3 57a11ea4-9604-0410-9ed3-97b8803252fd Notice that it's r3 in our svn numbering. The numbers diverge even more later, because we have a single repo with multiple datasets (gnucash, gnucash-htdocs, gnucash-docs, and gnucash-meta), but those are separate repos in git -- and gnucash-meta isn't exported to git yet. So every revision in one of the "other" datasets creates a discrepancy. The HEAD of the 2.4 branch is ------------------------------------------------------------------------ r17583 | john.ralls | 2011-12-24 08:58:55 -0800 (Sat, 24 Dec 2011) | 3 lines Add gdk_pixbuf to the distribution git-svn-id: svn+ssh://svn.gnucash.org/repo/gnucash/branches/2.4@21777 57a11ea4-9604-0410-9ed3-97b8803252fd and of Trunk: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ r17581 | geert.janssens | 2011-12-23 21:27:56 -0800 (Fri, 23 Dec 2011) | 4 lines Win32 build: abort build process if install.sh step failed. BP git-svn-id: svn+ssh://svn.gnucash.org/repo/gnucash/trunk@21775 57a11ea4-9604-0410-9ed3-97b8803252fd The only time this is likely to be a problem is if someone does a build from an SVN checkout: It will look like they've used a really old version.
