X-Git-Tag: TEXTUTILS-2_0_8~122
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb/index.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=2da0b155371a67b0fcdf4f5ff094d047ba44cc3c;p=thirdparty%2Fcoreutils.git

than trying to derive it from the current version number.
This is much more robust.
(alpha): Record just-released version number in `.version',
and commit (post-tag).
