Ulf,


However, where do you see this name? The SVN version is just a number
currently with 5 digits, probably more in the future.

Even the releases will have a unique SVN number, so using it for the
GUID should do well ....

I can't see any name here ;-)


The name would be something like "0.99.5", "0.99.6-SVN-20681" or
"Version 0.99.5".

Producing a name-based GUID of this version string is both standard
and future-proof - as you note, the version numbering may change. It
also allows developers to use non-standard naming  e.g. "Graeme's
Development Version" for their private versions.
