I think that the scope of this issue can be extended.
I have a tons of different images in different directories lying
everywhere on my box, and its really easy to get lost
in it, especially, when you don't touching some things couple of months.

So, it would be cool to get somehow a comprehensive info about image
from image itself.
The image could contain some meta-information, which can be shown to
user by request, including:

- release info:
  - version, date, author , branch
- changes info:
  - delta packages, delta changesets & their authour(s) , all relative
to release info
- and , of course, an easy way to update an image from public sources.

I want it to be easy to see, if given image contains some userful
pieces of code (of mine),
or it was just a cleanly released image, just downloaded to test & play with.
