[Gnash-commit] [bug #50462] Gnash shows weird version information when built from detached-HEAD Git repository

[Nutchanon Wetchasit]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #50462 (project gnash):

And another question is: what branch nickname should be displayed when the
repository HEAD is not on any branch?

One possible choice is using "none"...

Gnash 0.8.11dev (none-22387-144e082)


Or use "unknown"...

Gnash 0.8.11dev (unknown-22387-144e082)


Or use a pre-written
<https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gnash.git/tree/configure.ac?id=144e0827072b746b2bedebe39ca8a7e0fb43a455#n20>
`$VERSION`...
(This is currently used when Gnash is built out of Git repository)

Gnash 0.8.11dev (0.8.11dev-22387-144e082)


Or omit the branch part and its following dash entirely...
(This would require changing how version string is built when such case is
encountered)

Gnash 0.8.11dev (22387-144e082)


Gnash: 0.8.11dev (git 144e082 22-Feb-2017)
System: Debian GNU/Linux 7.0 Wheezy i386
