+1 The only reason it was removed previously was that it was breaking the build process when someone tried to build from the release tarball. If we want to drop the details into the release archive before tar'ing, great! The only other minor concern would be the release verification process will have to be updated to account for the fact that we'll have one file (or some lines) that are different between the actual tagged commit in the repo and what's in the tarball. As far as I know, that's just a process change for us. Easy... -chip
