Description Michael Meeks 2013-02-11 20:28:48 UTC 
The ./soffice --version command currently shows:

./soffice --version
LibreOffice 4.1.0.0.alpha0

or somesuch; but it does not show the useful git hash information that we show in the help->about dialog.

It'd be nice if it did. The code for it is here:

git grep displayVersion

and for the help->about dialog (which has the hash) here:

git grep AboutDialog::GetVersionString

is prolly a useful pointer.

Thanks :-)

I'll take a look at adding this.

Thanks Christopher - merged to master; only one minor tip; if you put 'fdo#12345' in your commit message it will automatically update the bug with a link to the commit as it gets pushed (which is quite a labour saving device ;-)
