    I also added a Makefile for mine (LaTeX), and it would add the commit hash to the front page (with an asterisk if the repository had uncommitted changes).

    So, if I gave a draft to someone and got feedback, I'd know exactly which revision it was.

        Sure thing. This also includes the beamer bit which I used for my defense. It's all pretty hacky but hope it's useful!

# If you encounter errors, use "make verbose"
#
# For small changes (probably those without references), use "make quick"

          I also had some Makefiles in other directories, e.g., for my media/ I had:

          MAKE = make -s
RECURS = svgs/

recurs: $(RECURS)
        @$(foreach DIR, $(RECURS), \
                echo "MAKE      (CD)    $(CURDIR)/$(DIR)"; \
                $(MAKE) -C $(DIR) $(MAKECMDGOALS);)
        @echo "MAKE     (CD)    $(CURDIR)/"

all: recurs

clean:

allclean: recurs clean

          and for media/svgs/:

          SVG_FILES := $(wildcard *.svg)
PDFDIR := ./
PDF_FILES := $(patsubst %.svg,$(PDFDIR)/%.pdf,$(SVG_FILES))

all: $(PDF_FILES)

clean:
        @rm -f $(PDF_FILES)
        @echo "SH       (RM)    Tidying up derived PDFs"

allclean: clean

$(PDFDIR)/%.pdf: %.svg
        @inkscape -T --export-pdf=$@ $<
        @echo "INK      (PDF)   $<"

        Makefile in other comments. You'll need something like this on the title page (this assumes you use my Makefile which puts the version in VERSION.tex [that's the literal name of the file, not a placeholder]):

        {\bf{\color{red}DOCUMENT REVISION:}} {\color{blue}\input{VERSION}}
