Subject: [PATCH] Add support for commit information in auto-generated archives.

This uses the tool to record the commit data from our previous commit,
and ensures that auto-generated archives from Github, for example,
always carry identifying information.

Ideas and code taken from Matthew Brett's tools in nibabel.
