Description

**[Gili](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=cowwoc)** opened **[MBUILDCACHE-121](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MBUILDCACHE-121?redirect=false)** and commented

https://maven.apache.org/extensions/maven-build-cache-extension/build-cache-config.html#projectversioning defines `adjustMetaInf` as "Determines whether version in metadata must be changed according to building project version."

It's not clear what this means, and how it differs from `calculateProjectVersionChecksum` which is defined as "Determines whether project version should be included to calculate checksum input."

I understand what `calculateProjectVersionChecksum`  means, but I'm not sure about `adjustMetaInf.`
