+    "iff that source code manager uses cryptic names for versions,
+     (eg. dbManager, git and hg managers), we may add an additional symbolic
+     version name, which is used for human readers (and not required to be unique).
+     Usually something like x.y-nn, where nn is the user name is returned there.
+     Here, we return the revision proper, which is ok for cvs, svn and others with a 
+     user-friendly version number."
