24.2.50; emacs-bzr-version is not reliable |

The variable emacs-bzr-version gives wrong information when emacs has
been built from a revision not at the tip of the current branch.
The best demonstration of the problem is shown in the second line
below, put there by M-x report-emacs-bug:
In GNU Emacs 24.2.50.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin11.4.0, NS apple-appkit-1138.47)
of 2012-09-14 on airy
Bzr revision: 110013 address@hidden
In fact, this emacs is built from a lightweight checkout of bzr
revision 109703. The automatically provided information above seems to
be taken from the emacs-bzr-version variable, which is wrong, in other
words.
Windowing system distributor `Apple', version 10.3.1138
Configured using:
`configure '--with-ns''
