Summary:
Old idea with changes since previous release tag
didn't work good enough. In most of the cases tag
was done in a branch hence not actually reachable
from the master branch.
Now change since release is gone, and date of
the latest commit is used instead.
The date is displayed in format YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm
in the splash.
New bpy.app fields:
- build_commit_timestamp is an unix timestamp of
the commit blender was build from.
- build_commit_date is a date of that commit.
- build_commit_time is a time of that commit.

Differential Revision: http://developer.blender.org/D5
Added a poll function to add object helper which checks
whether scene is linked or not.
All the primitives which are delivered from this helper
will work properly for linked scenes. If there're still
primitives which are not delivered from this class, well
nothing i can do now.
* Remove "FCurve/Driver Version fix" from help menu, was used for RNA changes during 2.5x.
* Keep utility code in animsys_refactor.py, might still become useful according to Joshua.
- Use commit number since last annotated tag as a
revision number replacement. It'll eb followed
by 'M' symbol if there're local modification in
the source tree.
- Commit short SHA1 is included. Helps getting
information about commit used to build blender
with much faster.
- If build is not done from master branch, this also
will be noticed in the splash screen.
This commit also replaces revision stored in the
files with git-specific fields (change and hash).
This is kind of breaks compatibility, meaning
files which were saved before this change wouldn't
display any information about which revision they
were saved with. When we'll finally switch to git,
we'll see proper hash and change number since
previous release in the files, for until then
svn version will be used as a change number and
hash will be empty.
Not a huge deal, since this field was only used
by developers to help torubleshooting things and
isn't needed for blender itself.
Some additional tweaks are probably needed :)
Now exported keymaps will still be usable accross versions, even if some operator properties disappear (write a warning in console in this case, instead of "crashing").
Also factorized a bit of code here!
The addons panel draw function calls addon_utils.modules() which in turn retrieves a list of fake modules from the script paths every time. This can become costly when network paths are included for
addons. Solution is to put the scanning process into a dedicated "refresh" function and disable it in frequently called draw and filter functions, i.e. in these cases the cached addons_fake_modules list
will be used instead.
Note that this may lead to invalid addon lists if script paths are changed (which is not working 100% without restart anyway according to Campbell). For this there is now a "Refresh" operator button in
the addons preferences. If necessary and feasible such forced refreshes can be added later too.
builtin classes. This was done in Python 2.3 to prevent changes to the 'object' type definition and similar issues. As explained by Guido van Rossum in the following mail, the python check will look for
the *closest* base class, which fails for RNAMetaPropGroup because its first base is RNAMeta, which is in turn a subclass of 'type'.
http://code.activestate.com/lists/python-dev/34489/
The easiest and safest way to prevent this issue therefore seems to be
to swap the base class order for RNAMetaPropGroup, so that StructMetaPropGroup is the first base, which has a perfectly valid setattr implementation.
there are cases where you want to use visual-keying but not remove constraints, also it wasnt obvious that clearing constraints used a different method of keyframing.
So split these into 2 options.
non-group trees (node trees not in the bpy.data.node_groups collection) to avoid confusion. For that purpose a new optional poll function argument has been added to NodeItem, which allows selectively
polling individual items in an otherwise static list.
