The key thing to me is that if a person reports a bug with the product
identification on the screen or sends a log, can you find the version of
the code that was used to build their application.

An interesting article about how git and Maven can be used to
automatically make the build revision and other info available at
run-time for logging or display in an "About" display.
The top-level build.xml has a rule to update the svn build revision;
this number is monotomically increasing. A git based $revhash isn't,
so there's a little bit of information lost there. But I think that's
minor.

Not a compelling reason to move to Maven or git but a nice addition
to OFBiz to make support and bug reporting a bit easier.
Also just a nice bit of reading if you enjoy reading about clever
programming.
