To help debug user issues, it's helpful to know exactly which source was used during the compilation. For cases where the source code is still available, one can simply check the repository.

Thanks for looking at this! Partially, yes, but I'm not sure how much offhand. The NetCDF output of some of the tools may report that information in the global attributes in some situations. We should check to see if that works.
None of the tools report the exact state of the source repository (git hash) information with --version which still would be useful.
