The main reason I wanted it is to gauge the versions that various
sites are running. I can roughly tell from looking at them now, but
it would be good to be able to link reports of issues with a specific
version numbers. I included the Git additions to ensure people using
versions with local modifications wouldn't be reporting issues that
don't exist in the unmodified version. AFAIK, Django itself works very
similarly if you install directly from Git.
