Also, uqs@ recently fixed an issue in newvers.sh (including the final,
non-updating svn revision) and reordered the information. An example
of the new format:

main-c255126-gb81783dc98e6-dirty
 \     \       \            \
  \     \       \             local modifications
   \     \        hash
    \      commit count
      branch
