Hoi,
I understand how revisions work. How do you use version numbers with SVN,
how are extensions to be supported in combination with SVN ?
Thanks,

I'm guessing this may be because the new file

but the file registering the extension (and providing the revision
number) wasn't changed at that time, which means the most recent
revision of *that file* is still r37404. Special:Version doesn't really
report the most recent revision of the extension as a whole, but that of
the setup file (IIRC).
Right, these version numbers are useless and in fact counterproductive
because they're completely inaccurate. I strongly recommend they be
removed if they can't be made relevant.

I've gone ahead and removed them from extensions in r48889 and removed
support from them in r48890. Developers should instead use version numbers
that make sense. We've had the 'version' parameter in $wgExtensionCredits
since pretty much forever, use that instead.
