git version is missing in rom-o-matic builds
As an example snponly.efi from rom-o-matic shows header:
iPXE 1.0.0+ -- Open Source Network Boot Firmware -- http://ipxe.org
While default build from http://boot.ipxe.org shows
iPXE 1.0.0+ (827dd) -- Open Source Network Boot Firmware -- http://ipxe.org
I think if the git command is missing when building then it becomes 1.0.0+ () --
so not sure if that is the issue or if there is something else going on.

This is important for debugging purposes and should be easy to implement: Only a single line after the call to "make" in in build.fcgi is needed, something along the lines of: EXTRAVERSION="+ (".$revision.")"
Hello, To reiterate, ipxe-buildweb doesn't update the boot banner to include the current version number and github build number

This causes confusion on an already difficult and confusing topic !
