Hello,
The git-repo uses e.g.
exim-<major>_<minor>
as a tag for a release. The src/scripts/revision script
does some sed magic to turn the output from 'git describe'
into <major>.<minor>_<tag distance>-<commit-id>[-XX].
Is there any reason for
. stripping the 'g' from the commit id?
. not using exim-<major>.<minor> as a git tag?
. not using the default git "dirty" suffix (instead of the -XX
which needs "exclusive" knownledge about the revision naming?)
. not using the default output format from `git describe`
e.g.: exim-4_86-102-g5ef5dd5
Using the output from `git describe` for revision naming would allow
directly access to the revision.
Best regards from Dresden/Germany
