Comment (by hamish):
I'd drop the --verbose option and just make the version number "solid".
It's a neat trick, but the rev number is usually what you want to see and
most folks won't discover the --v by chance.
The --quiet to turn off the date is an interesting idea though.
I wonder if we can use something like the last line of `svn info` to
better set the date. Manually setting it is not feasible and by-year is
only so useful.
I understand that "GRASS 7.0.svn.40065" is easier to .split(), but still I
would put my vote for "GRASS 7.0.svn40065". It matches historical and
external conventions better. It's mostly cosmetic though. Any one else
have an opinion?
any testing on how well it reverts to include/VERSION if the
svnversion program (just downloaded weekly snapshot) or the .svn/ dir is
not found (for final releases)?
thanks,
Hamish
