Comment (by JordanCrouse):

 I added these lines to the buildrom makefile:
 {{{
 # Get the last commit from our working environment
 GITREV := $(shell git-rev-list HEAD --max-count=1 2> /dev/null)

 # Figure out if any there are any oustanding changes
 GITLOCAL := $(shell git-diff-index --name-only HEAD 2> /dev/null | wc -l)
 }}}

 GITREV will be last commit, and GITLOCAL will be non zero if there are
 uncommited changes in the tree.  Ivan also recommends:

 {{{GITREV := $(expr substr $(GITREV) 1 6)}}}

 To shorten the rev-ID to a managable length.
