Description

When people report interesting bugs like this one: 17:ticket:1939, I'd really like to be able to tell what version of the software they were running. Version numbers do not achieve this goal — witness the fact that the software they are running reports its versions as "allmydata-tahoe: 1.9.2", in the flogtool incident report file: 

Application Versions:
Nevow: 0.10.0
Twisted: 12.0.0
allmydata-tahoe: 1.9.2
foolscap: 0.6.4
mock: 0.8.0
platform: Linux-debian_7.0-x86_64-64bit_ELF
pyOpenSSL: 0.13
pyasn1: unknown
pycrypto: 2.6
pycryptopp: 0.6.0.1206569328141510525648634803928199668821045408958
python: 2.7.3
setuptools: 0.6
simplejson: 2.5.2
sqlite3: 2.6.0
twisted: 12.0.0
zfec: 1.4.24
zope.interface: unknown

But there are actually patches applied to it as part of the I2P fork. The solution to this is to include into the version info the current git hash, and the current git dirty-state, when the software is built.
