Puppet users - Jan 2011 - Anyone using config_version successfully?

I have tried to use config_version and failed due to limitations in the way
I would like to use it:
- http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/3692
- http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4845
- http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/5404

As part of http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/3692, we''d like to get
a
handle on who in the puppet community is using config_version successfully
as it stands

Thanks

John

I second this.  I would prefer this config_version to update at compile 
time with each client request.

We''re using it pretty happily.  We just have:

config_version = cat $vardir/manifests/.version

And that file is updated with the short hash of the commit when we sync
the repo to the master.  It''s not really hugely important, of course,
but it''s nice to know when you''re forcing a run on a node that
you''re
getting the revision you''ve just committed.

Cheers,

+1, you can hack around it by doing ''touch site.pp'' on each
git update
but thats nasty, the design of this feature is just wrong.
