Update documentation to reflect GIT methodology. Rewrite release.sh
script to use appropriate process. With this update, tools/release.sh
can be used for producing private release tags on local branches.
The documentation still needs work, but their use for v0.3.x should
help rectify the deficiences.
- The guess-rev.sh script is now a tweaked version of "setlocalversion" as
seen in Linux, U-Boot, and various other projects. When it finds source
control support (git, hg, svn) it uses IDs from there. Else (specific
to this project) it reports itself as "-snapshot", e.g. from gitweb.
I verified this new "guess-rev.sh" script runs under Cygwin.
- Also update the generic version strings to be like "0.3.0-dev" (during
development) instead of the very long "0.3.0-in-development". These also
show up in the PDF docs. For better tracking, we might eventually change
these strings to include the version IDs too.
- Change the startup banner version strings so they include the guess-rev
output. Development and release versions with GIT will be like
Open On-Chip Debugger 0.3.0-dev-00282-g7191a4f-dirty (2009-10-05-20:57)
Open On-Chip Debugger 0.3.0 (2009-10-05-20:57)
instead of the previous SVN-specific (even when using git-svn!)
Open On-Chip Debugger 0.3.0-in-development (2009-10-05-01:39) svn:exported
Open On-Chip Debugger 0.3.0 (2009-10-05-01:39) Release

The release process itself does not use this support yet, but it allows
packagers to automate the process of managing their own tags, if they
patch the source code before releasing binaries. The release processes
should be revised to incorporate this feature to support -rc packages.

- The NEWS step failed due to an empty commit comment.
- The final release step would have failed, because the steps to switch
from the secure to insecure repository (and back again) require both
switch and a URL relocation steps

1) Only archive NEWS file on major and minor relesae, not bug-fixes.
2) Switch back to correct development branch during final release step.
3) Add do_svn_switch helper to ensure package variables are reloaded.
