@mcgilman - I fixed two issues that you pointed out:
1. The About dialog no longer shows the "Tagged" label when there is
nothing in nifi.properties
2. I added "(not available)" to the System Diagnostics properties with the
"unset" style where info is not provided in nifi.properties
Then I did some testing that I should have done last time, with these four
typical scenarios for data combinations in nifi.properties:
1.) Build from source release, screenshots:

```
2.) SNAPSHOT Build from git repo, screenshots:

```
3.) Build from non-release source without git, screenshots:

```
# Build info
nifi.build.tag=HEAD
nifi.build.branch=
nifi.build.revision=
nifi.build.timestamp=2016-11-02T18:57:11Z
```
4.) Upgrade - nothing in nifi.properties, screenshots:
[About](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/3151078/19955885/3a639e60-a143-11e6-9637-362461480b80.png)

I know this isn't an exhaustive list, I believe arbitrary combinations
should now be more gracefully supported.

> Key: NIFI-2115
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-2115
> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Core UI, Tools and Build
> Affects Versions: 1.0.0
> Reporter: James Wing
> Assignee: James Wing
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: screenshot-1-of-4-about-expands.png,

>
> The UI's About dialog and underlying API provide the version of NiFi, like
> "0.7.0-SNAPSHOT". For many bug reports and troubleshooting requests, this is
> not very precise, especially around rapidly changing code or
> platform-dependent behavior. It would help if NiFi captured and displayed
> additional information:
> * NiFi build commit hash
> * NiFi build branch
> * NiFi build date/time
> * Java Version
> * Java Vendor (Oracle, OpenJDK)
> * OS
> Then a simple copy/paste from the about box would provide very specific
> information about a particular NiFi installation and which code it was
> derived from.
