Unknown found as revision level
I just did a pull of revision a92b31d from git hub. After compilation I now see that the product revision is "unknown"., same as in mscore/revision.h. Previously it has always been the rev level from the download.
Was this meant to happen or is it just me?

It has never been the revision of the checkout. If you want it to be, you need to run
make revisionThis is a very recent change in rev c1b860b1. You can still do a "makefile revision" to update the file manually. However, this change was done to supposedly do this step manually when doing a git checkout. I build mine custom with my own large CMD script which updates the revision.h file with the proper build number before compilation. The command is "git rev-parse --short HEAD >mscore/revision.h".

Thank you schepers! I used the command : "git rev-parse --short HEAD >mscore/revision.h", redid the make and all is now well.
I have added your command to my list of commands to make MuseScore.
Once again, from a grateful Turtle, thanks.
Also have a look in build/git/hooks. Part of the same update was a new git hook you can install as a post-checkout hook, that will automatically update the revision.h when you do a checkout, and also prevent it from being flagged as a difference.
A full explanation is in the README in that directory.
