Scoop: Add `scoop version` to report the git tag (when implemented)

Created on 11 Nov 2017  路  5Comments  路  Source: lukesampson/scoop

Thank you for this awesome tool, it is really handy and minimal.

However, I realized there is no way to get scoop version.

Normally for CLI tools, we just "command --version" to get its details, but there is nothing like this when I checked the help.

Scoop uses Git to update itself and doesn't use versions. You could say it's a rolling release.
--version could print the current git commit it's based on.

@r15ch13 Git has the concept of tags which could be used to label each release.
Consequently, tags will show up under GitHub releases.

So is the idea to tag as "releases" the commits that affect the program code, rather than just affecting the manifests? I'd be fine with that.

Would it make sense to move the main bucket to its own branch, or even a separate repo?
