Please explain the behavior of this serial number at the time - when a minor release (like 4.5) is branched from -stable branch - when -current branch becomes -stable (branching 6.0-current) I really hope these serial numbers won't be interleaved (like #1 being related to -current, #2 to -stable and #3 again to -current) I'd suggest that every time a commit to src/ is made, this file would be checked out for appropriate branch (if it exists on that branch, of course - I doubt there's need of this file for NETGRAPH branch :-), incremented and checked-in. This way it will still have revision id, but the numbering of changes is quite simple - at every branchpoint all branches inherit the serial number.
