Yes, that's normal. It gets it from using 'git describe' which tells
us the most recent tag (v3.6.1 in your case), the number of commits
since that tag (1904) and 'g' + the first few digits of the most
recent commit hash.

Even on next, the latest tag was the previous version, so you wouldn't
expect to see a version associated with 3.7, say. Not until we
actually make a release would this mean anything.

That was just documentation. The source code was doing the right thing
with cmake/git. But I've just pushed a patch that fixes the references
there and in another spot that was still referencing autotools and (!)
subversion.

Thanks!
