git imerge has no version information
With the rising popularity of git imerge, and the new fixes provided by newer versions in the repo, the need to have a version number (even if it is date based) becomes more needed.
git imerge --version
should provide a version information so that users can know if they have an up to date version or not.
Yes, you are right of course.
But given that development takes place on master in little bits, can you think of a way of implementing this that doesn't require the manual incrementing of a version number every time I merge something to master?
How about a pre-commit hook that checks that for annotated tag commits the correct information is added? This with a helper script for tagging that automatically computes a timestamp based version number and refreshes the script source?
From what I can see the problem is the lack of 'official' versions, so maybe they should be added :)
