[wysochanski@sourceware.org]

CVSROOT:	/cvs/lvm2
Module name:	LVM2
Changes by:	wysochanski@sourceware.org	2009-07-28 13:17:04

Modified files:
	lib/metadata   : metadata-exported.h metadata.c 
	liblvm         : .exported_symbols lvm.h lvm_vg.c 
	test/api       : test.c 

Log message:
	Add lvm_vg_get_seqno, updating lvm.h and unit test.
	
	Adding the ability to get the seqno is important for an application to
	determine if something has changed in a VG.  Otherwise, the only way to
	know is to open the VG with write permission and hold the handle.
