If you look at the tarball that is downloaded you'll see that we give you
the short hash. If you want the .git folder you should just clone the repo,
because that's created by your local git when you clone. You could also
just hit the tag page and parse the commit off that,
http://github.com/Dieterbe/uzbl/tree/2009.11.30. There might also be a way
to get that info from the API.
