Show git version numbers - Windows

UPDATED: October.11.2010. The revtag.sh shell script

2 Methods are presented for resolving GIT Hash Numbers to generate the ".version" file in the BIN directory so that OpenSImulator can display version info. This aids in providing the version information for filing Mantis Reports and tracking the versions in use on the various simulators.

Usage:

1. Copy the Batch file to your desktop and edit the pathing to match your system.

2. Create a revtag.sh in the git reposity, immediately above the bin folder. NOTE! if you perform a git clean this revtag.sh will be removed from the folder structure therefore you will have to copy it back in, I suggest you have a copy of it handy somewhere.

For Example:

/OpenSim_GIT

/OpenSim_GIT/opensim

/OpenSim_GIT/opensim/bin

Place this in /OpenSim_GIT/opensim

The Batch File: GIT_Ver.bat

echo off
