I am using the Git Deploy module to show update information on the updates report page. This is necessary because I use drush with package-handler set to git_drupalorg to get the git information. This way no version information is needed in the .info file.
The Ctools module added a hardcoded version information of version = CTOOLS_MODULE_VERSION in the ctools.info file for version dependency reasons with other modules. This blocks the module update info to show up on the update reports page and doesn't even show up with drush pm-updatestatus.

Hard coding version info was an error. Users who use Git to check out modules should be using the Git Deploy module to provide version strings: Writing module .info files (Drupal 7.x). A patch is required to get it working with database updates: #2062763: Fix update.php missing version info from Git Deploy.

ventzie queued 4: hard-coded-version-info-2455597.patch for re-testing.
