Minion, Addon Programmers & how does it figure out version on disk?

[zgrssd]

There is one little thing I have been wondering about: How exactly does minion figure out the "version" of a addon that is on the disk?

As a programer I often edit the Addon directly in the Addon directory. And the last thing I would want is minion accidently detecting a change/update and trying to overwrite my sourcecode files on the disk.

It has not happened yet so I asume there is some code to prevent it around. I just would like to know how exactly the Version of the Addon on the disk is detected.
