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, -- jhell,v
