GbTS> Gentlemen, let's face it, your version number,
GbTS> emacs-version "24.0.50.1"
GbTS> is a total disaster for use in e.g., report-emacs-bug.
GbTS> Who ever heard of a version number that doesn't change all year?
GbTS> Even Microsoft with its 6.5235345532543 numbers are better than yours.
GbTS> I especially like e.g.,
GbTS> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Version MediaWiki|1.17wmf1 (r82223)
GbTS> So do contemplate providing _version information down to the commit

GbTS> Don't expect the user to have to explain what time of what day he got his
GbTS> copy from where, when asked for more details than "24.0.50.1".
