Hi Mark,
I was playing around with VM trying to figure out my reported problem
with Marking messages matching a subject or author which marks too
many things and was trying to confirm which git commit I was running.
I found that 'vm-version-commit' (Thanks for the rename!) was broken.
It still assumed you had the info in 'version.txt' on the 2nd line,
instead of it's own 'commit.txt' file. So here's a patch to fix this.
But I think this version.txt and commit.txt is actually pretty damn
clunky. Wouldn't it be better to have a 'vm-version-info.el' file
which just has:
(defconst vm-version "8.3.x")
(defconst vm-version-commit "abcde....12345")
instead, and this just gets loaded in startup? It would be easy
enough to auto-generate this file during the buil process.
Anyway, my simple patch:
diff --git i/lisp/vm-version.el w/lisp/vm-version.el
index 0fece92..1ab8ae4 100644
--- i/lisp/vm-version.el
