ah, the answer seemed so easy...

Doing that without pulling the sources looks tricky, indeed. Somewhat
desperate ideas:
  - Use a shallow clone, base version info on date, rather than
    "number" of latest commit. This still means downloading around 2MB
    just to generate the version number, though...
  - Fetch and parse http://quickgit.kde.org/?p=rkward.git&a=log
  - Ignore the problem, and simply use the timestamp of running the
    bundle script as version number.
Then again, if the bundle script could re-use a local clone, it would
only have to do the cloning once, and from then on just pull updates.

I hope these ideas are at least a little bit helpful, this time ;-)

Regards
Thomas
