Moot point to see all the history of osis2mod up to late last year,

when I open it without any parameters, just to see the syntax help, the
first line is:

You are running osis2mod: $Rev$
OSIS Bible/commentary module creation tool for The SWORD Project

So how does "$Rev$" help one to know which version one was using?

When an SVN client checks out the code it replaces $Rev$ with the latest revision number of the file. It should be r2671 (r2679 which Greg mentioned is the revision of the repository as a whole).


Why don't Sword utilities (for Windows) tell the user exactly which SVN
version they were compiled from?
I'm pretty sure that the ones that Chris releases do.


I only know because I asked the question just after Xiphos 3.1.5 was
released.
Greg gave the explanation. He didn't use an SVN client to check out the code. The same will probably be true with tei2mod.

Learned something new about git, too :)
