Another (probably sick) idea: after cloning from git OpenWrt can remove original .git/ and add to the archive a fake one with just a single object and tag. I've just checked and it seems to have "git describe --tags" working it's enough to add just three files: refs/tags/<versionstring> HEAD objects/xx/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx First two files with identical content, the last should be a valid object of type "commit" (no need to store a tree object even though it's referenced from it). To make "git rev-parse --verify --short HEAD" work as expected too one can preserve just the HEAD commit object (not a tree). This way the space requirements to store additional data inside the source archives will be really small. This would require moving and unpacking the pack that's usually created by git fetch --depth=1 and then removing all the objects but one.
