[Opensim-dev] Main Repository now in Git

[Robert G. Jakabosky]

Attached is a script that I made for one of my projects.  It extracts hash and 
timestamp from the git log.

The important bits are these two lines:
COMMIT_TIMESTAMP=`git log -n 1 --pretty="format:%ct"`
COMMIT_INFO=`git log -n 1 --pretty="format:%h: %cd"`

With the --pretty format option you don't even need to parse the log output.
