A version number is an ill-defined concept for a distributed version
control system (if we both commit something locally after commit 1234,
which one is really 1235?), but the system used by version.py is

git rev-list HEAD | wc -l

but this is *not *the same number that would be returned by an SVN checkout
from github.
