 > Definitely plugin material for most of what was just mentioned there,
 but I still think it's a bug that the SVN revision shown (when it is
 shown) still isn't the actual SVN revision most of the time without any
 plugin installed that uses the hook added in r21986 to override the
 bumpbot revision number.

 The only reasons why bumpbot changes this version are A) we used to do it
 manually when we felt like it, and usually only once we got to beta time,
 and B) we rewrote the script-loader to use a global version rather than
 individual versions.

 It's not a bug. It *might* be confusing, but really, who is looking at
 that for the SVN version number? If we did 3.5-beta2-r22222 ("r" or "rev")
 then I'd understand why I'd call it a bug. Essentially, it's a nightly
 build version — it's only there to differentiate between two nightly
 builds, as well as a nightly build that follows a beta. It's designed so
 someone using the beta tester plugin can update and they realize things
 have updated, rather than "updating" to the same beta 2 over the course of
 a week.

 Also, bumpbot runs immediately before the nightly build is generated,
 which means the build itself is going to be accurate. Unfortunately since
 SVN 1.7 made this more difficult, there's no compelling reason to add this
 to core for now.
