But now this to me is just making it more complicated than necessary.
The script that is ran to fetch the revision number during build will:
Check the difference between haiku-central and the local repository.
* If there is no connection the version string will be:
unverfied-4a4334a
* If there is a connection and there are no changes:
haiku-central-4a4334a
* if there were changes
custom-5344aa4 (derived from haiku-central-4a4334a)
And yes, you can build in some caching in this build script. In order
to have some sense of time, we can include the commit date of the head
revision.
