Comment (by zooko):

 We should replace the functionality that darcsver used to provide. The
 best way to do this would probably be to use Brian's "versioneer"
 (https://blog.mozilla.org/warner/2012/01/31/version-string-management-in-
 python-introducing-python-versioneer/), like pycryptopp does (https

 lafs.org/trac/pycryptopp/browser/git/setup.py?annotate=blame&rev=f789ed951b49b33e7cc49d16fdc8b398f7ec7223).
