Comment (by amontero):

 When asking on IRC for how to differentiate builds from the WebUIs using
 specific version strings, Zooko pointed to related Versioneer issue:
 https://github.com/warner/python-versioneer/issues/6
 Also, Zooko's solution (copied verbatim):

  echo "!__appname!__ = 'amonteros-experiment'" >>
 src/allmydata/_appname.py

 Daira suggested to append .dev0 to the version string instead of doing it
 with !__appname!__ to avoid incompatibilities in the files created in node
 directories.
 Daira's solution is editing/creating src/allmydata/_version.py . If it is
 not present, a build from a git checkout will generate it.
 > Alternatively, have the bzr import run 'python setup.py verinfo' (iirc)
 on the git tree before doing the incremental import.
