I think this is a good idea (and don't mind the idea of `svn status' being run from gcc_update to do so), but I wonder if it's necessary to continue to include the date in the version.c file? I presume the main reason that the date was placed in version.c in the first place was that we had no other way to place an overall identifier on the tree revision with CVS. However, SVN now gives us one. Including the date now just makes the version string unwieldly, IMHO. Ben
