I think you are more interested in knowing which version the tools are at.

Actually this patch series is more a response to the thread
"Re: [PATCH] Disable USE_SYMLINK_HEAD by default" in  particular see
this message 200511160205.43443.Josef.Weidendorfer@gmx.de by Josef
Weidendorfer.

When we disable USE_SYMLINK_HEAD by default, tools are expected to work 
with USE_SYMLINK_HEAD enabled, too, so .git/version is not needed for 
that.

But yes, it might be handy to know at some time. But I think it would make 
sense to add .git/version *then*, because you can distinguish repositories 
before/after the change by testing for .git/version.
