[swtbot-dev] Re: Fwd: Re: Possibility of moving off to git completely ?

[Ketan Padegaonkar <ketanpadegaonkar@xxxxxxxxx>]

The build scripts are not dependent on the source repo apart from using 
the svn incremental version number as the .qualifier part of the 
feature/bundle version numbers.

SVN uses incremental revision numbers for every checkin and it given a 
plugin version, it was trivial to find out what revision it came from.

In order to have traceable builds, we need a story that uses incremental 
build numbers, with a pinch of the git rev number.

Thoughts ?
