Hi, Peter,
thanks for your prompt help!

Great! Before applying the patch, I tried renaming the .git subdirectory and balsa
compiled without problems. However, I just noticed something different: When I
compile balsa without .git, Balsa-->About shows the expected version number
(2.5.3). Now, with the subdir present again, I get version 2.5.2-357-g0f6c528a. I
guess, the suffix is necessary for git, but shouldn't the version number start
with 2.5.3, too?
Hmm--yes, I see the same thing. Balsa uses 'git describe --tags' to construct
the version string when building in the git tree, and somehow 'git describe'
doesn't see the 2.5.3 tag. I've pushed a 2.5.3a tag pointing to the release,
and for me at least that gets seen; the version is now 2.5.3a-14-g0f6c528. It
is not quite right, since we don't have a 2.5.3a release, but it's better than
before!
Best,
Peter
