[wp-testers] Nightly build revision number in admin footer?

[Kirk M]

Thanks for the info Dougal,

Unfortunately, it doesn't work for me. Once activated there's no change 
in the WP 3.0 admin footer. No extra line in the admin footer that 
indicates the revision number and path (as it says in the description). 
I tried deactivating my plugins in case one was interfering but no 
difference.

Perhaps it's a problem for those using the WordPress Beta Tester plugin 
to keep updated rather than the more traditional SVN approach?

Either way it's hardly a testing showstopper. I was just wondering 
whether it was possible for the devs to add the revision number back 
into the admin footer like it was "back when".

Cheers
