Okay, I'm sorry that my bug report was complainy.
I am somewhat interested in working on this aspect of the build
system, actually. It is comparable to the "darcsver" tool that I use
for various projects [1].
I guess a good way to force myself to be explicit is to write a unit
test. How about if I write a unit test that fails if ./darcs --
version emits a version number earlier than the most recent tag?
