Documentation

Try to return as a string the repository revision of the Emacs sources.

The format of the returned string is dependent on the VCS in use. Value is nil if the sources do not seem to be under version control, or if we could not determine the revision. Note that this reports on the current state of the sources, which may not correspond to the running Emacs.

Optional argument DIR is a directory to use instead of source-directory. Optional argument EXTERNAL is ignored.
