Gentlemen, let's face it, your version number,
emacs-version "24.0.50.1"
is a total disaster for use in e.g., report-emacs-bug.
Who ever heard of a version number that doesn't change all year?
Even Microsoft with its 6.5235345532543 numbers are better than yours.
I especially like e.g.,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Version MediaWiki|1.17wmf1 (r82223)
So do contemplate providing _version information down to the commit
granularity_ like the MediaWiki people do ... available right there to
the report-emacs-bug command, etc.
Don't expect the user to have to explain what time of what day he got his
copy from where, when asked for more details than "24.0.50.1".
