Description-en: extracts revision metadata from your VCS repository
Extracts metadata about the current revision from your repository.
This program is meant to be used by project build systems to extract
properties that can be used in software version strings. Repository
types supported include git, hg, bzr, and svn. It can create files
containing variable and macro definitions suitable for a variety of
programming languages and other info formats. Emitted information
includes the ID of the most recent commit, its branch, its date,
and several other useful pieces of meta-information. There is
support for reading and writing a cache file so autorevision will
remain useful during a build from an unpacked distribution tarball.
