Comment 5 for bug 527043

If we implement the "bzr version-info" solution, the numbering will differs form what svnrev does.
svnrev works this way: it takes all $Id$ tags from monitored .h/.cpp/.f files and keeps the highest number.
The bzr version-info solution will work as if all files in the repository have an $Id$ tag. This means that if we modify for example the tutorial, the library will return a version number incremented by 1.

The question is: is this a desired behavior ?

Maybe this bug deserves a bluprint...
