- protomyth 9y agoAfter having seen a comment addition cause a bug[1], I appreciate the effort. 1) really damn weird compiler bug was all we could think of
- bonzini 9y agoThe number is placed there automatically by some old version control system (probably SCCS or RCS) and is incremented on every commit. The commits were likely just adding a new year to the copyright line.

Anecdotally (wasn't there at the time): sccs was more common everywhere before RCS because sccs was part of all unix (e.g including BSD UNIX).. it was encumbered as part of the UCB USL suit and rcs use grew after that, then cvs, then svn, then git
- gkya 9y agoThat's the version of coreutils, not that of true. Try: (/bin/true --version; ls --version; cat --version) | grep coreutils all will be the same.
