Subject: [PATCH] git-format-patch should show the correct version
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.63.0512222036460.31820@wbgn013.biozentrum.uni-wuerzburg.de>

```

We want to record the version of the tools the patch was generated with. 
While these tools could be rebuilt, git-format-patch stayed the same and 
report the wrong version.
