Bug #8877
closedOptionParser::Version should not rely on SVN
Description
=begin
Currently, (({OptionParser::Version})) is ((<defined|URL:https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/2b44bbf/lib/optparse.rb#L215-L216>)) by:
RCSID = %w$Id$[1..-1].each {|s| s.freeze}.freeze
Version = (RCSID[1].split('.').collect {|s| s.to_i}.extend(Comparable).freeze if RCSID[1])
This assumes that before this file is invoked, something preprocesses this file and rewrites (({$Id$})). This is not the case with (({git})).
As a result, if you build from the git clone, you'd get
irb(main):001:0> RUBY_DESCRIPTION
=> "ruby 2.1.0dev (2013-08-02 trunk 42320) [x86_64-darwin12.4.0]"
irb(main):002:0> require 'optparse'
=> true
irb(main):003:0> OptionParser::Version
=> nil
While I understand the history of the development process and Ruby core's professed affinity for SVN, but this strikes me as a very bad idea.
