Still am not sure how this is useful in practice. Some commit is broken, someone else finds out. He runs repoman locally: * repoman reports the brokenness -> ask the committer which repoman version he used (and if he can reproduce it with latest stable repoman) * repoman does not report brokenness -> report a bug against his local version after checking that he is up2date Now with git... it is even easier to test these things, because you can just jump back in time and run repoman on the offending commit. No reason to include that information in all commits, afais. And it doesn't tell you much anyway, because other versions could be affected too by the bug, so you end up debugging properly anyway.
