Yes. Either the commit SHA-1 or the output of git-describe does
the trick. Even better when your program prints this value on
demand, like say `git version`. ;-)
Before programmers got smart and wrote switches to dump the
version (aka -v/-V/--version) users were expected to use
`strings frob | grep '$Id' | mail baddev@example.com` to
send in bug reports. What a world we live in! ;-)
