When you ``make autoloads'', it runs ``git describe --abbrev=6 HEAD'' and uses the resulting string to create a new org-version.el file. That file is then used from that point on. And yes, ``git describe'' calculates the name by counting how many commits past the latest available tag there are (on the appropriate branch). Nick
