Instead the +git revision strings and dates are now recorded in +`deal.IIConfigGit.cmake` whose path is recorded in `${DEAL_II_GIT_CONFIG}`. +This is similar to how we store the git revision in the header +`deal.II/base/revision.h` instead of `deal.II/base/config.h` to avoid +unnecessary recompilations of the library and user programs.
