Re: Generate version file by hooks

=== Re: ===
I'd like to put the SHA1 of the current commit into a source file so
that my 
program can further process it -- put it into a log file for example.

Isn't that what the existing file HEAD is for?  Possibly with a level of
indirection.  So use 
	git rev-parse HEAD
any time you need that SHA1 value.  The HEAD is always updated, since
that _is_ what defines the "current" commit.
