Listing the "Blender Foundation" as copyright holder implied the Blender
Foundation holds copyright to files which may include work from many
developers.
While keeping copyright on headers makes sense for isolated libraries,
Blender's own code may be refactored or moved between files in a way
that makes the per file copyright holders less meaningful.
Copyright references to the "Blender Foundation" have been replaced with
"Blender Authors", with the exception of `./extern/` since these this
contains libraries which are more isolated, any changed to license
headers there can be handled on a case-by-case basis.
Some directories in `./intern/` have also been excluded:
- `./intern/cycles/` it's own `AUTHORS` file is planned.
- `./intern/opensubdiv/`.
An "AUTHORS" file has been added, using the chromium projects authors
file as a template.
Design task: #110784
Ref !110783.
This is really old decision which should have been revisited as soon
as an overlapped release cycle was introduced.
The initial reasoning for such branch name override was to make it so
corrective releases have the same branch as the initial release when
we followed fully linear release cycle.
Nowadays such branch override is confusing and could even be misleading.
There are no add-ons using this property so it is very unlikely that
this is a breaking change.
This is already the case for most CMake usage.
Although some find modules are an exception to this, as they were
originally maintained externally they use some different conventions.
Also corrected bad indentation in: intern/cycles/CMakeLists.txt
Using configue_file(..) would have avoided the breakage from
1daa3c3f0a, caused by buildinfo not properly escaping quotes.
Rely on CMake to escaping strings instead using configure_file().
Use cmake TIMESTAMP for BUILD_DATE+TIME
this simplifies code a lot
and even makes it more portable to other platforms
TIMESTAMP is available since cmake-2.8.11 ; blender already requires
cmake>=3.5 so that is fine.
Note that with CMake>=3.8, if defined, the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH envvar
will be used by CMake here.

The original issue was that different platforms will use different
hash lengths, just because defaults on Git client were different.
Now we use explicit length for the hash, and length is the same as
is used for short hashes in Linux -- apparently they started to have
collisions with length of 11.
This is a bit tricky, find_package(Git) was only used to check if git is installed
and actual git command was assumed to be in the PATH (while ideally it should have
been GIT_COMMAND variable).
This commit makes re-compile output cleaner, especially when using Ninja.
Adding proper GIT_COMMAND to buildinfo.cmake is also possible via argument.

Ok, this is nasty. SOURCE_DIR is somehow being defined
from CMakeLists.txt in source/creator by the looks of it
and actual issue as extra slash in the end of path which
was passing to EXISTS command.
- It was using SOURCE_DIR which is undefined on windows.
No idea why it was defined on Linux, could be some
co-incident. Correct usage is CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR.
- Remove usages of SVN's revision.
Summary:
Old idea with changes since previous release tag
didn't work good enough. In most of the cases tag
was done in a branch hence not actually reachable
from the master branch.
Now change since release is gone, and date of
the latest commit is used instead.
The date is displayed in format YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm
in the splash.
New bpy.app fields:
- build_commit_timestamp is an unix timestamp of
the commit blender was build from.
- build_commit_date is a date of that commit.
- build_commit_time is a time of that commit.

- Use commit number since last annotated tag as a
revision number replacement. It'll eb followed
by 'M' symbol if there're local modification in
the source tree.
- Commit short SHA1 is included. Helps getting
information about commit used to build blender
with much faster.
- If build is not done from master branch, this also
will be noticed in the splash screen.
This commit also replaces revision stored in the
files with git-specific fields (change and hash).
This is kind of breaks compatibility, meaning
files which were saved before this change wouldn't
display any information about which revision they
were saved with. When we'll finally switch to git,
we'll see proper hash and change number since
previous release in the files, for until then
svn version will be used as a change number and
hash will be empty.
Not a huge deal, since this field was only used
by developers to help torubleshooting things and
isn't needed for blender itself.
Some additional tweaks are probably needed :)
