[Ocfs2-devel] [PATCH] Remove versioning information

[Goldwyn Rodrigues]

The versioning information is confusing for end-users. The numbers
are stuck at 1.5.0 when the tools have moved to 1.8.3.

I suggest removing the versioning system in the kernel altogether
and let the kernel version be the guide to debug issues. However, if
you think versioning is still required, please state the reason and
modify the version string in the ver.* files to reflect the uptodate
information.
