I can respect that. I just find it to be of real use to be able to
identify what is currently running on the system to what revisions were
available at the time it was compiled whether it be local revisions or
remote or mixed like what I have done with this patch.
Personally I have drove off ideas of my own for a long time due to the
long standing nature and background of newvers.sh because it is just a
simple straight forward use that is needed from it. To complicate
something as simple as this just seems fundamentally wrong in a lot of
ways so I had to weigh the negatives and positives before I decided to
submit this one.
Regards & thanks for the good luck,
