Having just done the git-0.7.tar.gz file with git-tar-tree, I started wondering if there is some nice way to encode the commit version that got tarred up into the tar archive itself. There are various obvious ways, like creating a fake zero-sized file called <base>/.git-version-<commit-id>, and maybe that's the right thing to do. But maybe the tar archive format (and no, I don't even want to know details) has some nice way to hide off a keyname even _without_ having to create a file. Would people like to have such a file for later? Obviously there would be a need to suppress it with a command line flag if you don't want it (or have a cmd line flag to enable it in the first place), what do people think? Rene?
