(also asked on <users@maven.apache.org>)

Maven is a build system used by many Java-based projects. Some folks have added Git support, allowing the inclusion of build identifiers (like branches and commit hashes) in products of Maven builds. But they need help to complete it. Is anyone interested in helping?

This is something we (Mifos) need, so if you do help, know that you'll be helping to end world poverty.
