In Emacs, Help | About Emacs, there is written:

"GNU Emacs 23.1.91.1 (i686-pc-cygwin, GTK+ Version 2.18.3)
  of 2010-01-05 on..."

Why, in the development stage, not adding the revision number? i.e.:

"GNU Emacs 23.1.91.1 rev. 99259..."

In GCC, for example, this happens.


I wonder if it is possible? Is it well defined?

Perhaps the beginning and ending time of the checkout could be used
instead? But I wonder if they are available either.

Shouldn't writing 'rev. 99259' in some .bzr files be enough? For example, when building, if it finds 'rev. 99259', it generates:

"GNU Emacs 23.1.91.1 rev. 99259..."

else if it finds 'release', it gives:

"GNU Emacs 23.2 release..."

I am sure Emacs guys have better ideas. :-)


Thanks,
Angelo.
