There are probably things to tweak but there is also something
not working for me. Apparentely, you have a special file named
'version' in which you store a version string and its sha1 as
taken from the rev HEAD. I do not have one and thus, I can't find
this file in my checkouts.
Also, while at it, could you send your wsh-topic-branches file
and the relevant git repositories ?
