Git and the linux kernel (can) have the commit hash in their version.

For git you can see it with

	$ git version
	git version 1.5.0.2.260.g2eb065

for the linux kernel you have to enable CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO, then
you get:

	$ uname -r
	2.6.20-g509cb37e

Knowing the commit you can determine the corresponding "version" of b.c.

There are some other possiblities to communicate that hash.  E.g.
a tar archive created with
	
	$ git-archive --format=tar ...

allows you do to

	$ git-get-tar-commit-id < $tarfile
	2eb06531e3d53c2604f20c32e5cb791d5044ff02

Best regards
Uwe
