Here is what we get right now: http://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php?version MediaWiki: 1.20wmf1 (c532e81) https://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/phase3/ ApiMain: $Id$ ApiBase: $Id$ ApiFormatBase: $Id$ ApiQueryBase: $Id$
Git doesn't support keywords like this. To see when a file was last modified one will have to check the git repository.
In a similar fashion, http://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php?action=paraminfo&modules=query also returns $Id$ in its version tags. If this feature is deprecated due to the conversion to Git, the output should be cleaned up or report a clear-cut error, if possible.
I believe we should kill all getVersion() stuff in API with fire. A feature should either work flawlessly or not be there at all. Since there appears to be no convenient way to doit in Git and since nobody uses these versions anyway, this stuff must die.
Will delete it. Git kinda supports it but according to many its not worth the hassle. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/62264/dealing-with-svn-keyword-expansion-with-git-svn#72874
