> Still, it is only relevant for svn (nightly) builds, and is redundant
for final releases. It's fundamentally a dev branch aid.
It's not right, it's not redundant for final release at all. Currently
users have no information what is the revision of their build (g.version,
wxGUI About window). It's common information which user could expect to
know.
> The release branch must be tested when .svn/ dirs and svn CLI tools are
not present on the tarball/build machine. (in my quick tests last year I
just su renamed those temporarily in /usr/bin/, see earlier comments in
the ticket) It would not be nice to only discover a bug once the tarball
was released and a non-dev tried it.
This feature has been introduced 17 months ago (r39622). Recently
backported to devbr6 by you. What time is need to get finally this minor
feature to release? ;-)
