      That's something I've been thinking about, being able to verify where the   
   source came from and/or being able to recreate a source archive as neccessary.    
      
      
      I primarily use git for my code repositories these days.  One of the   
   commands that has will create an archive directly from the code repository; it   
   includes the commit id it's being created from directly in the archive. which   
   can be either in zip or tar.gz format.   How the id is stored in the archive is   
   different for the two formats;  I don't think either can be used directly (the   
   one for a zip archive, for instance, is stored in the zip comment which would   
   be lost if the archive is distributed via the Filegate)  but I figure there   
   should be some way to use either to create a distribution archive with the   
   commit id information.   
      
       I haven't done more than think a bit about this because still need to get   
   the CVS repository (the primary one) mirrored into a git repository that is   
   also online there at the SF project.
