I wonder that too. I was experimenting with "seen" with the reftable. I first created a new and empty repository with "git init --ref-format=reftable" in a brand new directory next to my primary working area, and then did "git fetch --no-tags ../git.git/ master" or something to pull the history without tags in. After that I thought I was careful to make sure I only ran the "seen" version of Git (all my other installations of Git are unaware of reftable, and the version of Git on my regular $PATH is not from the "seen" branch), but perhaps I screwed up at some point and the mistake got stuck in the version file, or something silly like that, perhaps. > >> - # The beginning should match "git version --build-info" verbatim, >> + # The beginning should match "git version --build-options" verbatim, > > Correct, my thinko-typo, thanks for correcting. > >> # but rather than checking bit-for-bit equality, just test some basics. >> - grep "git version [0-9]." system && >> + grep "git version " system && > > This matches the commit message, ok. > > Martin
