Description
The "About" dialog of Qt Creator can now display a clickable link which opens the git log up to the revision in the web browser.

That is a handy feature, especially when dealing with fresh builds to quickly check whether the last patches are included.
However, turning the IDE_REVISION as passed in by the build script into a clickable link (to the qt-creator repo) is currently happening by default. It should better only happen with IDE_REVISION_URL set. Otherwise, builds from forks of Qt Creator (e.g. by distros that have patches on top) that define IDE_REVISION but no own IDE_REVISION_URL will now have a link to the wrong repo.
And perhaps some don't want that link at all.
