For starters, you could use my attempt:
http://www.gelato.unsw.edu.au/archives/git/0508/7171.html

It does not fool any CVS user, because it does not fake version numbers. Instead, you can display SHA1s, short SHA1s, author names, or mixtures thereof.

However, I learnt to use git-whatchanged in the meantime, and I'll probably never go back.

Hth, Dscho
