Are you saying there should be a 'make distpkg GITREV=<rev|tag>'?

For me the "name info" is in my wrapper script, which sets both
--prefix=/some/xen/suffix during configure and the package name during
make. The rpm release is just 'date +%s' to make 'rpm -F *.rpm' easier.
The changeset info is most likely bogus due to repeated 'git rebase'.
