            Bug ID: 68725
           Summary: import of compat SVN working copy requires internet
                    connection
           Product: Pywikibot
           Version: compat (1.0)
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: General
          Assignee: [email protected]

wikipedia.py retrieves version.getversiondict()["rev"] to set the User-agent
when imported.

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/86374/ changed version.getversion_svn() to
unconditionally ask github for the git-hash. However, the hash itself isn't
actually used in wikipedia.py (see also
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54686).

This undermines e.g. to unpickle previously saved page objects when access to
github.com does not work. It also seems an unpleasant thing, to make such a
roundtrip every time the library is imported, right?

Maybe getversiondict() and the code it dispatches to can get an opt-out (not to
retrieve information by speaking to the network) to be used in the User-agent
case.
