Let's say I have a test console program for *nix systems, named 'testprog' that
I have in source control via Fossil. Now, each time I make a commit, it
generates a new version number. What I am looking for is how to output that
version number to the console like so:

    $ testprog --version
    testprog Version [8b73c285a1] 2011-12-12 08:32:12

Also, I noticed that as of about 2 Fossil versions ago, there is support for
sequential versioning, which I think is great for trying to figure out if you
have the latest version or are out of date. But, I'm fuzzy on how do I assign
that number? How do I tell Fossil that this checkin is Version 1.1? And what
formats are available (e.g., Major.Minor [1.2], Major.Minor.Bugfix [2.3.43],
etc.)? And will it automatically be put into the console output like so?

    $ testprog --version
    testprog Version 3.1.4 [8b73c285a1] 2011-12-12 08:32:12


Thank you.
