Hello,

> git-describe is more human-friendly than a SHA-1...

For me git-describe does the following:

        (thinkpad) [~/work/slides] git-describe --all HEAD
        heads/master

I don't see how Michael is able to tell from this output what version his users is using. Do I miss something? I really do like the patch Rene has submitted. And it is exactly what is missing. A unique identifier which tells the exact version of the tree the user is using.
