If it is a repo, you have the version information anyway, and at all times. And if this extra step is indeed present, why can't the "make install" just save the HEAD somewhere for later reference? > That would sort of negate the savings in disk space I hope seeing > by moving from CVS to Git. You'll find you have plenty of savings for anything.
