Meaningful build version numbers of developer builds

svnversion is good for versioning builds of specific source revisions. However, sometimes, the build is modified or the svn tree is exported. The following is a basic example of creating a meaningful build number in a Makefile:


SVN_VERSION=$(shell x=$$(svnversion); ([ "$$x" != "exported" ] && echo $$x) || echo $$USER.$$(date +"%Y%0m%0d%0k%0M%0S"))
