Only in such a way that 'mtn --full-version' says something like "base 
revision: unknown", and only if they use a binary built from the official 
tarfile. Other than that purely cosmetic issue it should not cause any 
problems.

However, if you used to do something like 'cat _MTN/revision' in *your own* 
project, you should change that to 'mtn automate get_revision_id'.
