Hi Ben,
I think that the hash is indeed that if a commit. And I thought someone had
written a script to find the commit from the hash. Alternatively you could
look at the various system attributes the Squeak vm uses to identify itself. I
*think* the Pharo vm has the same info baked in. In particular there should be
the date of the commit.
