Rockbox mail archiveSubject: Version StringsVersion Strings

Date: Mon, 12 Jan 2009 16:36:42 +0000 With more people using the pure GIT repository for development (including me) I ran into a problem with the current svnversion script stalling on non-git-svn repos. The resultant patch can be seen at: http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/9758 It's been through a couple of revisions as people have discussed the best way of keeping information about the revision. The patch as is now will do the following: If it's a SVN repo echo: rNNNN-date where NNNN is the subversion version. If it detects a GIT repo it starts the version string with 'g' to indicate it's been built from git. If the current HEAD of the git repo is a git-svn commit it then echos "rNNNNN" to show that although built from a git repo it should match the equivalent subversion revision. If the HEAD isn't a git-svn commit then it echos the short git commit-ish which uniquely identifies the version (and history) of that branch. It will also echo '(~rNNNNN)' which is the closest subversion revision the build corresponds to. This is useful if people want to see if a bug has been fixed since but at the same time the git commit-ish is the more useful piece of information as the build may have been quite hacked up since then. Finally it outputs '-dirty' if the tree contains uncommitted changes. I'd appreciate it if anyone with a view on such things could have a look and comment if there is something they don't like. Otherwise I would be very grateful if someone could merge this change into SVN.
