pyxmpp.__revision__ doesn't get updated with each change

[Jacek Konieczny]

pyxmpp.revision is constructed using a $Id$ keyword in {{{pyxmpp/init.py}}}, but in Subversion each file may have a distinct revision. Therefore, revision of {{{init.py}}} doesn't reflect the revision of repository as a whole. This makes it impossible to get the exact revision number (useful when API has been changed and we need to know which version is supported).

[Jacek Konieczny]

pyxmpp.revision was never supposed to be used that way. That is only source file revision. PyXMPP version is available in pyxmpp.version module, but it doesn't follow any repository changes (it is X.Y.Z for official releases and X.Y.Z+svn for repository snapshots newer than X.Y.Z).
