Revision.h not updating
I used to be able to update revision.h by switching branches in Github.
This is no longer working, however, and consequently my self-builds are stuck with the version of revision.h containing 3543170 which is the contents of the file on the upstream master.
Can anyone enlighten me as to how to force it to the latest commit number?

Have you done this step:
Set up the post-checkout hook (from build/git/hooks/, for details see the README there).
$ cp -p build/git/hooks/post-checkout .git/hooks/

The $ is supposed to be the shell-prompt ;-)

Well opening a shell from the GitHub application gives the current directory path as the prompt.
Maybe the instructions shouldn't include the prompt?

No, "$ " is the standard shell prompt, denoting a mere mortal user (with "# " being for root)
You are doing this on Windows? I though you were on Ubuntu, and there using a regular shell?
We might want to extend that description to explain to use Windows Explorer to copy that file?
Or just mention that the $ is not to by typed in?

No Windows has always been my main platform. I have an Ubuntu Studio Virtual Machine for testing purposes.

I see.
To me, with some 25 years of UNIX at by back, that "$ " made perfect sense, but I can see that to others it may not ;-)
