Brent Longborough submitted the
gitinfo2
package.

metadata in LaTeX documents
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
gitinfo2 is a new release of gitinfo.
The package allows authors and book designers to incorporate
selected metada from their git repository into LaTeX documents.
The changes to version 2 are not backward-compatible, and the
package name has been changed to avoid impact on existing
