Bug Description
It is a problem that the pages load css files without a version in the url, for example:
{{ STATIC_URL }}css/style.css
If would be better to include a version id in the url that changes every time we commit an update to the file, for example:
{{ STATIC_URL }}css/style.
I don't know what is a good way to manage this. In the worst case we can manually increment the version number when making a change. Or a simple automated way could be getting the bzr revno somehow and passing it to the django template. Or we can use something more advanced like this django module:

For the time being, I think it's ok to use hardcoded ?v=234 postfixes which we have to manually increment on every css change. Feel free to suggest a better way, especially something that you are using yourself in other projects.
