You *might* look at pristine-tar from Debian. It's specifically designed to be able to generate the .orig.tar.gz that Debian packages are based on from a VCS checkout, but it's code might be useful.

I do like your script though. It's simple and the output is plain text so it is easy to have your VCS maintain it.
