Development version

[Beau E. Cox]

Hi -

Congrats on your 6.2.11 release!

Did the development (svn) version really jump to 6.28.0?

I am running some scripts to automate a refresh of parrot and
pugs weekly so I can stay in tune with the current effort.
To identify my svn downloads by version and revision I:

1) slurp ChangeLog and pull version from /(\d+.\d+\.\d+)/s.
2) get revision from the svn output:
revision=$(tail -n1 svn.log|perl -e ';$_=<>;$r=/rev.*?(\d+)/i ? $1 : "";print 
$r') \

Two questions:

1) Are version and revision available in the source tree in a
   format easier to use?
2) If not, would the group consider maintaining a VERSION or
   VERSION and REVISION files in the root of the tree that
   could simply be cat'ed?
