good point...well it will leave the string dev build as it does now.with "of" appended :)
at subsequent builds it will append the revision though
most of us who keep up with SVN and test are in the second situation and this is
where the revision number os helpful IMHO.

I just copied that form dist.sh

But if we can cover 95% of the cases with no trouble at all I think its worth it.
IMHO again :)
