That's not relevant since the reason for the version without metadata is
the smaller size. Including the version number would not increase size
noticeably.

BTW it would be possible to have a smaller source package with
subversion metadata by not shipping the "working copy" version of the
files. The user would then need to run "svn revert -R . libswscale"
(libswscale mentioned separately because it's external) after unpacking
to regenerate the files. Probably not worth it though.
