BTW, for all people installing and building their own please note this:

The way to get rid of the " Revision: VM: $URL$ $Date$ Date: $Rev$ Plugins: $Rev$" nonsense in the version report is to make sure to run

scripts/updateSCCSVersions

exactly once before you build. From then on the checkin script

scrips/gitci

makes sure that this is up-to-date. You'll get something more useful such as

VM: 201705161708 eliot@Sisyphus:oscogvm $ Date: Tue May 16 10:08:12 2017 -0700 $

which allows me to identify this VM as one I build myself on my Mac Mini Sisyphus in directory oscogvm, which contrasts with the official binary VMs.

Ideally the script would be run automatically after the repository was cloned. Do git mavens know if a post-clone hook is available to make this happen? If so, can someone make it so?
