Hi,

In the past whenever a -rc was deemed ready for release, I just
dropped the -rc name from the binaries and used them as the release
binaries.  This was done to save the hassle of having testers regenerate
identical binaries using the -final tag.

I'm not sure if this is actually the right thing to do, because I
know there is a way to include the svn tag in the llvm version
string (I'm not sure how to do this, but I'm pretty sure I've seen
this before in bug reports).

How do the testers feel about re-building binaries from the -final
tag even with the source is identical to -rc*?  Is this something
we should be doing?

Thanks,
Tom
