ZL> [TEST] Retrieve revision and changeset string
ZL> The two properties can be accessed in test cases as
ZL> 'main.revision', 'main.changeset'
This is a fine way to do this, but I'm curious: how will it impact the
performance of the test suite? If we do this before every test, will
it make the suite take a measurable amount of additional time to run?
These values won't change during a single run, so I had envisioned
this being fetched once at the beginning and passed to each test
case. That may not be feasible with the current architecture, so I
have no real complaint here, I'm just wondering.
