Similarly to Peter, I prefer a minimum amount of information so I tend
to just use `git rev-parse --short HEAD` with --extra-version for my
own builds. Looking at the timestamp of the files installed is enough
to know when you worked on them, and when testing a patch and
committing it on a local branch before compiling you can know easily
where you left things off. git branch --contains is also useful to get
from which branch is commit from.
