It's used by DMD to build the version, that is, the output of "dmd 
--version". The content of the VERSION file embedded in the executable 
using "import()". I don't think that's possible to do in any other way.

But the VERSION file should be generated when building and not be 
committed to the repository. For the archives I guess it needs to be 
generated and included in the archive since Git will not be available 
when building from an archive.
