I think it would have some similar problems. If you rely on it in = anything, what happens when you start dealing with a branch on savannah, = or someone's published branch based on one of the savannah versions? = And, perhaps worse, if you stick bzr commands into the build process to = get the number, what if someone's using a different VCS locally (and it = seems like most of the popular DVCSes these days can import/export in = various combinations, so this isn't at all hard to imagine) and thus = there's no bzr info to be had?
