Hi, when we release software we tag it, push the tag and give the tarball url to downstream. ie: http://github.com/Dieterbe/uzbl/tarball/2009.11.30
but the problem is, in the make process we need to know which commit hash you're compiling from, so we can store that in the binaries. it helps in identifying the software. (see http://github.com/Dieterbe/uzbl/blob/master/Makefile ) for this we currently use the .git directory, but this directory is not available in the tarballs. is it possible for github to do one of: - leaving .git intact in the tarball - put a little file in the tarball, containing the commit hash and optionally the tag or alternatively, is their some trick we can do ourselves to have a file which always contains the current commit hash? i think svn can do something like that, but couldn't find it for git. thanks!
