yes.

version.C-tmp is not in subversion.

4123:4168 mixed revision working copy
4168M modified working copy
4123S switched working copy
4123:4168MS mixed revision, modified, switched working copy
If you don't update the version info, it will lie. F.ex. saying 4123
when 4123:4168MS is the truth.
And if we are going to lie, then we might just as well use $Revision
and add a cronscript that updates the version every night...
