Dear diary, on Fri, Sep 23, 2005 at 10:46:14PM CEST, I got a letter where Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net> told me that...

In ELinks, we pseudo-bump the version number from v1.2.3 to v1.2.3.CVS (now v1.2.3.GIT) right after the release.

In Cogito, we append the commit ID current at the time of build to cg-version output (if it was built from GIT-tracked working directory).
