I'm not against either idea, but if a user checks out a copy of AUR and modifies then uses it, it should be his responsibility to change (or remove) the version number. Adding a version.inc still requires the user to modify it himself, and config.inc is ignored by git anyway, so it shouldn't affect the development process (i.e. only Paul should have to worry about changing the version number on the real AUR site).
Either way, if you come to a consensus, a patch is easy to write for either.
I've taken tardo's patch and then modified it to include a version.inc from aur.inc. http://projects.archlinux.org/git/?p=aur.git;a=commit;h=22fcea238f0ede3def93... I think this addresses everyone's concerns, but is perhaps the least elegant solution! But it does work. This needn't be the end of this issue, but I didn't want bikeshed painting to stall this release. If we come up with something better, we can do it for next version. - P
