Actually, we *have* to do it over there, because what that script
does is

   # Export the selected git ref
   git archive ${i} | tar xf - -C pgsql

   cd pgsql
   ./configure
   # some irrelevant stuff
   make dist

So there's no .git subdirectory in the directory it runs "make dist"
in.  Now maybe it'd work anyway because of the GIT_DIR environment
variable, but what I think is more likely is that the file would
end up containing the current master-branch HEAD commit, whereas
the thing we actually want to record here is ${i}.
