OIC.

Isn't that potentially dangerous (if we assume it likely that sources
for styles will proliferate, and that a given style may be available
from more than one source)?

Or to put it more directly, why not use the git value?

Isn't the question of how the script is run (outboard vs. post-commit,
etc.) really orthogonal to the timestamp issue? E.g. you can get the
git commit timestamp from a simple shell script.
