Add revised information to prawn manual

[tomciopp]

Can you add revision data to the beginning of the prawn manual? I have been running into a lot of inconsistencies between the api of the manual and errors in prawn, and I am unsure whether it is due to me not tracking the most recent development branch or regressions in the gem. Something like:

Last Updated: September 6th 2013,
Prawn Version: 1.0.0.rc2
Sha1: "blahblahblah"

+1 for this suggestion. It might also be nice to have a version for at least the last officially stable release, which at this point I think was 0.12.0, simply because some people like to stick with stable versions. In the meantime, I'd suggest browsing the source of whichever version you're using to see what the actual api looks like for that version.

This is a nice idea. @ciopte7 or anyone else who is interested, please prepare a pull request with a patch.

Closing this ticket, because we can't reasonably track feature requests for anything non-critical with our current backlog. But a patch is welcome!

Hi!
A test for a .git directory should probably added, since this would fail if the source is not obtained from a Git repository (but from the gem or a source package from a Linux distribution)

@boutil Good idea. Please submit a pull request.

@sandal, I just pushed a proposition to the branch manual-cover-git.

@boutil: Thanks, can you open a pull request for that branch so that we can discuss there?

@sandal, this is pull request #691.
