The program used > by Fossil is https://www.fossil-scm.org/fossil/artifact/40ed302872cc5795 Thanks for all the answers, I wrote my own little script that extracts the output of 'fossil status' with the help of sed and writes it to a file. It's invoked as part of the build process: fossil status | sed -n 's/checkout: *\([a-zA-Z0-9]*\) \(.*\)/#ifndef CHECKOUTVERSION\n#define CHECKOUTVERSION\n#define CHECKOUT_VERSION_STRING "\1"\n#define CHECKOUT_TIMESTAMP_STRING "\2"\n#endif/p' > ../checkoutVersion.h What's the advantage of using a manifest file?
