That's quite straight-forward, I think - except for the recent burst (I am essentially adapting the git 2.1.0 release shipped by the upcoming fedora 21 scheduled for christmas) I tend to update to the latest fedora release about a week or two after release; fedora 17 was shipped in May 2012 and only just enter Alpha in 22 Feb 2012. and I tracked R at least as frequently as weekly around then; So I would be using what ever version of git was shipping with fedora 16 around late Feb 2012. On fedora's build farm, git-1.7.7.5 was bult in dec 2011 and git-1.7.7.6 was built on 2012-01-19 . Depending on how soon 1.7.7.6 filtered down to update, and when I update my git and also tracked R, (all three of these events probably happened around 22 Feb), I could be using either 1.7.7.5 or 1.7.7.6. I still have the system software update log around (the repo was cloned on a now-dead system, then moved over when it died), and presumably I can get git log to show me the fetch date (?), I might be able to tell whether it is 17.7.5 or 1.7.7.6 if you really want to know.
