The following information was provided by the package's contributor.
Name of contribution: gitinfo Author's name: Brent Longborough Package version: 1.0 Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/ Summary description: git metadata in LaTeX documents License type: lppl
Announcement text given by the package's contributor:
The gitinfo package provides the means to provide documents with version control metadata from their git repository. The metadata is made available through a set of LaTeX commands such as gitAuthorEmail. Some tinkering with git hooks is necessary, but a step-by-step guide is provided.
thanks for the upload; i have installed the package and made an entry for it in the catalogue repository.
Users may view the package catalogue entry at http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/gitinfo.html or they may browse the package directory at http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/gitinfo/
The catalogue entry will first appear (some time) overnight tonight.
