Comment:

 Fixed in [4421e8a84b1fe81ee7ed32ee2d07eae00b629aa2/trunk]. The
 update_version step now prints this when it cannot find the version.
 Specifically, if there is a `.git` directory then it tries to update the
 version; if that fails ''or'' there was neither a `.git` directory nor a
 `_version.py` file, then it prints:
 {{{
