    I also added a Makefile for mine (LaTeX), and it would add the commit hash to the front page (with an asterisk if the repository had uncommitted changes).

    So, if I gave a draft to someone and got feedback, I’d know exactly which revision it was.

        Sure thing. This also includes the beamer bit which I used for my defense. It’s all pretty hacky but hope it’s useful!

        # Errors aren't handled gracefully (tex doesn't write to stderr, it seems)
        # If you encounter errors, use "make verbose"
        #
        # For small changes (probably those without references), use "make quick"
        #

          I also had some Makefiles in other directories, e.g., for my media/ I had:

          MAKE = make -s
          RECURS = svgs/
          
          recurs: $(RECURS)
                  @$(foreach DIR, $(RECURS), \
                          echo "MAKE      (CD)    $(CURDIR)/$(DIR)"; \
                          $(MAKE) -C $(DIR) $(MAKECMDGOALS);)
                  @echo "MAKE     (CD)    $(CURDIR)/"
          
          all: recurs
          
          clean:
          
          allclean: recurs clean
          

          and for media/svgs/:

          SVG_FILES := $(wildcard *.svg)
          PDFDIR := ./
          PDF_FILES := $(patsubst %.svg,$(PDFDIR)/%.pdf,$(SVG_FILES))
          
          all: $(PDF_FILES)
          
          clean:
                  @rm -f $(PDF_FILES)
                  @echo "SH       (RM)    Tidying up derived PDFs"
          
          allclean: clean
          
          $(PDFDIR)/%.pdf: %.svg
                  @inkscape -T --export-pdf=$@ $<
                  @echo "INK      (PDF)   $<"

        Makefile in other comments. You’ll need something like this on the title page (this assumes you use my Makefile which puts the version in VERSION.tex [that’s the literal name of the file, not a placeholder]):

        {\bf{\color{red}DOCUMENT REVISION:}} {\color{blue}\input{VERSION}}
