Thank you for this patch.

I have committed it in 20902, except for the indentation change. We try to
keep wide-ranging whitespace changes separate from functional changes. In this
case, I can't see the reason for changing it: it appears that more of our
Python scripts use 2-space indentation than 4-space indentation.

Yes, I agree that would be better: "vsn" is not a common abbreviation of
"version". I will wait and see if anyone agrees or thinks we would need to
leave some kind of link under the old name.
