Add support for commit information in auto-generated archives....
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.

# to the top of the tree. There are long threads (since 2007) on the git list
# about this and it still doesn't work in a sensible way...
