Comment:

 The changes in https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/pull/117 were reverted
 yesterday in

 * master:
 https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/commit/6617ffb4edd9ffcf1cd016958f70a93dc9229e15
 * relbr78:
 https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/commit/156cdb5c3b91db2dd4183247b36b724c419db574

 However, I am not convinced that it should be reverted. Rationale: The old
 SVN tag

 https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/blob/8b9512b8b2fb0531df848fce58619308cbc29b3d/include/gis.h#L41

 is no longer expanded after the migration to git and in the last many
 months we didn't find a git equivalent (as it simply doesn't exist).

 Reverting is fine once an alternative has been found. For now we have the
 risk that addons are broken again.
