> The release task updates the field 'THIS_VERSION' in the {{buildfile}} itself. 
> If you have a project that maintains multiple branches of a product (say 1.x and 2.x), this leads to a non-trivial merge conflicts in an essential file.
> It would be convenient if the version could be specified in a separate file. That way we can revert the file on each merge with less chance of introducing an error.
