RE: 1.9.1 bug in svnversion?

Wow, that is unfortunate that the MS merge modules are broken - I hope they
fix that soon. In the meantime, is it an option to go back to VS2013?

Yes, the problem is because of the static linking with the CRT.
Not sure how I can fix this though, not even sure if it's even possible.

Problem is: going back to dynamically linking with the CRT is not an
option either: the x64 merge modules for the c-runtime and MFC are
completely broken and must not be used.
Strange thing: I've reported the problem to MS, and the issue was open
for a while. Now when I wanted to check it again, it is not there
anymore ("The content that you requested cannot be found or you do not
have permission to view it.").
