According to Bruno Haible on 3/14/2008 5:52 PM:
|   This does not tell me anything. If in 6 months sometimes says "my gnulib
|   is version 0.0.430-8915-dirty", how do I find out what date it is?

git log 8915

|   Also, the suffix "-dirty" is a bit offensive. How about "-unreleased" or
|   "-dev", or "-alpha" or "-cuttingedge", or "-mm" (for Linux fans :-)?

That's something for Jim to decide, with the git-version-gen script.  But
given those options, I like '-dev'.  At any rate, the '-dirty' suffix is
only present if you have uncommitted changes still in your tree.

|
| - In a cvs checkout
|     $ cvs -d :pserver:address@hidden:/gnulib.git co -d
gnulib HEAD
|   I get
|
|     $ ./gnulib-tool --version
|     ./gnulib-tool (GNU gnulib) UNKNOWN

Again, the git-version-gen script could probably be made smarter in a CVS
checkout, and it would benefit more than just gnulib-tool.
