I agree. Generally it is used to signify agreement to a developer certificate of origin. I would recommend using it for any other purpose, especially since there has been talk of instituting a DCO for Gentoo (based on the Linux DCO). We're not at the point of doing that just yet, but I wouldn't stick something entirely different in that field so that if we do institute a DCO we end up doing it differently than every other project that uses Git. If we want to capture this it should go in its own header. If the goal is to capture the repoman version, then I'd just capture the repoman version, or some identifier for the set of rules repoman was checking against at the moment (I'm not sure if repoman uses any kind of data updated outside of portage releases). -- Rich
