What about this though:

 * tar it up
 * Release
It's such a mundane, useless waste of time to edit the hash in by hand - why 
can't the version control system do it?

What about this (that is roughtly what git and Linux kernel use):
 * Tag a release
 * Issue "make dist" which would automatically replace @@STH_VERSION@@
   (or ++STH_VERSION++ for example in Perl files) with result of
   "git describe" (although I think that plain old "make" also does this)
   _and_ create proper STH_VERSION file
 * tar it up using "git archive --format=tar" which would add version
   as a tar comment
 * Release
