>From memory:

scripts/updateSCCSVersions installs git hooks to automatically update
sqPluginsSCCSVersion.h & sqSCCSVersion.h with the current version
information whenever a commit is made (and also forces an update when
the script is run).  The version information is reproducible, so there
isn't any need to commit the version files, which reduces the amount
of noise in the commit logs (otherwise these two files would form part
of *every* commit).

HTH,
