It would be highly useful for to have support for packages to providing the git commit id corresponding to the code.  Something akin to package-get-version.

thanks!

Sorry, I don't think I understand what you're asking for here.

Could you please elaborate or try to explain this in a different way?

Thanks.

Hi Stefan,

Apologies for not being clear.

package.el provides (package-get-version), which allows a package
to get its own version.

The package system does know the commit:
     Status: Installed in ‘bbdb-20231122.1326/’ (unsigned).
    Version: 20231122.1326
     Commit: 53e8ba04c47b3542db75b68f9663941daf2e6ca4

It would be useful for packages that want to provide the
comment to be able to obtain the commit in a similar manner,
such as (package-get-commit).

thanks
Mark
