Comment:

 Ah, never mind, I can reproduce it on my machine, using the zipfile
 downloaded from [https://github.com/tahoe-lafs/tahoe-
 lafs/archive/master.zip].

 The first line of `tahoe --version-and-path` also gives an unknown version
 with the correct path (e.g. `allmydata-tahoe: unknown [unknown: unknown]
 (/home/davidsarah/tahoe/git/tahoe-lafs-master/src)`).
 `src/allmydata/_version.py` does not exist.

 It appears that the github download `.zip` does not contain the `.git`
 directory, so I don't think this is fixable. We'll just have to avoid
 telling people to use that download method (or take into account that
 they'll get a Tahoe build that doesn't know its version).
