Since 7.01, M-x org-version always reports "Org-mode version > 7.01trans" after a "git pull | make clean | make | make install | make > install-info" sequence.

It is the same M-x org-version command. If you are running org-mode from a git repository and git is available in your path then the M-x org-version command will report the current commit you are at as part of the version information. Org-mode version 7.01trans (release_7.01g.37.g3ee6) The 7.01trans is the version number in the emacs lisp source files. The 'trans' part indicates it is the development branch sometime after the latest 7.01 release. The git describe output (release_7.01g.37.g3ee6) just gives precise details of exactly where you are in the repository. The reported git release version is always the commit you have currently checked out. If you are running older compiled sources then it will report incorrect information -- you're really running the older compiled version even though your current checkout is something else. You can reload your version with M-x org-reload and C-u M-x org-reload (to run from source files, not compiled versions if they exist) HTH, Bernt
