Oops. I thought it was in the 24.4 section; I'll revert that and make sure the name change is properly noted in the 24.4 news. > Perhaps there should be an obsolete variable alias emacs-bzr-version, > since it existed in the previous release and now does not. I think it is *highly* doubtful anyone ever used it... > (Actually, I don't think it should have been changed at all during a > feature freeze.) Perhaps not. But I did get a request that the stuff around (what is now) emacs-repository-version be fixed immediately so that at no point would any bug report lack a repository revision stamp. My next intended change is to modify a bit of Lisp so that this variable is set properly whether the repo type is Bazaar or Git. -- Eric S. Raymond
