In AboutSystem, it now says "Walter (Revision 5643433)" for example, rather than an hrev. Has been like this since merge of PM.

I have never observed this behavior either. See my attachment from hrev46211.

Latest build, gcc2h, pulling from the github mirror. I'll try doing jam -a, see if that fixes it. Though surely it'd have been fixed if it was cached when git pull updated my tree.

Replying to jessicah:

That would be your problem, the github mirror doesn't replicate the tags, and consequently the build system has no way of knowing what the corresponding hrev is.

FWIW, the reason the github mirror does not replicate the hrev tags is because github's UI does not manage to handle that many tags in an acceptable manner; it just gets very slow.
What platform are you building on? Do you have any local patches to your tree? AboutSystem's been showing hrevs like usual over here, on both compilers.
