Well, what do I do with this result?
- In a git repository checkout I get this:
$ ./gnulib-tool --version
./gnulib-tool (GNU gnulib) 0.0.370-7307-dirty
This does not tell me anything. If in 6 months sometimes says "my gnulib
is version 0.0.430-8915-dirty", how do I find out what date it is? (So that
I can look up in the ChangeLog which modifications it contains and which
came later?)
Also, the suffix "-dirty" is a bit offensive. How about "-unreleased" or
"-dev", or "-alpha" or "-cuttingedge", or "-mm" (for Linux fans :-)?
- In a cvs checkout
$ cvs -d :pserver:address@hidden:/gnulib.git co -d gnulib HEAD
I get
$ ./gnulib-tool --version
./gnulib-tool (GNU gnulib) UNKNOWN
