Cool, I did my own one:

;;; -*- lexical-binding: t -*-

;; this file:
;;   https://dataswamp.org/~incal/emacs-init/meta.el

(defun emacs-version-commit (&optional here)
  (interactive "P")
  (let ((ver (format "%s [%s]" (emacs-version)
                               (emacs-repository-get-version) )))
    (when here
      (insert ver) )
    (message ver) ))
(defalias 'ever #'emacs-version-commit)
