I've noticed that other commits keep their revision history above the
--- line, and thus is present in git log. So I take that it's a nice
to have, but here it's just useless ?

I'm afraid that the whole -version-info still makes little sense over
here, so anything that you/others suggest will go in as-is. If you
prefer we could fully opt the GTK route, making it clearer from
libtool POV. I'm fearful that will end up more confusing for the
maintainer/release person - even the GTK people get it wrong every now
and then.

As per above - any suggestions how to make it less confusing are be
appreciated -  more inline comments, alternative commit message, etc.

Thanks
