    Stop doing the "symlink to rev-labeled PDF" trick · 7649490e
    Karl Fogel authored
    Before now, building "foo.pdf" would instead build "foo-rREVNUM.pdf"
    (where REVNUM is determined by 'get_revision') and symlink "foo.pdf"
    to that.  Although this had its uses, it also would occasionally cause
    problems, primarily accidentally copying the symlink to somewhere else
    and ending up with a broken symlink at the destination.  After
    discussing it yesterday, James and I decided to switch to the simpler
    "just build foo.pdf" method, and that's what this commit does.
