org-version N/A when using git subtree

org-version N/A when using git subtree

[Johan Sandblom]

This is off topic, or at least the first paragraph is, but I don't know 
where else to ask ...

I maintain a private git repo where the org-mode git repo is included. 
I use it on several machines, both windows and linux, and also on a 
stick which I can use on the terribly restricted and firewalled 
computers at work (which curiously allow me to run emacs from the 
stick!). I used to include org-mode as a "fake submodule" 
(http://debuggable.com/posts/git-fake-submodules:4b563ee4-f3cc-4061-967e-0e48cbdd56cb) 
but wanted to learn more about git so I changed to a real submodule. 
This was annoying because then I could no longer just pull from the repo 
to the stick and have my new org-mode with me, I needed to update the 
submodule on the stick as well, which was more work than before. I then 
changed to using a git subtree for org-mode and lots of other bits and 
pieces that I wanted handy, even behind the firewall at work. This works 
great except for one thing:

org-version is set to N/A (on topic again I hope). As far as I have 
been able to gather with my non-existent developer skills the 
org-version stems from mk/default.mk and so could be adjusted in 
local.mk, but I am unable to figure out where I should get it from, and 
how to adjust it. Can you enlighten me?

Excellent idea. I'll try that when I meddle with it next. Thank you.
