Basically it wasn't done and nobody noticed.  Pretty anyone who might
notice was building from an svn checkout and not a source tarball.
Probably the biggest consumer of the source tarball was the FreeBSD
port, which I maintain, and I never notice that the revision info was
blank on FreeBSD.  I only noticed when the discussion came up where
during the cutover to git.

Yes.  Building from a source tarball is probably something we should
test on an ongoing basis.

Agreed.
