How about the attached patch? It prepends the following comment line to tzdata.zi in the current development version: # version 2017c-18-ga5a40b4 Here, "2017c-18-ga5a40b4" has the same meaning as in the file 'version': release 2017c plus 18 updates, with a Git checksum of a5a40b4. If the working files have uncommitted changes, the version string has "-dirty" appended.

This answers my concern nicely. Thanks! regards, tom lane
