I use the following script to fetch the basic version info, compilation time, 
commit info of the main source and three feeds, and to store that as a custom 
file into the built firmware:

#!/bin/bash
STATUSFILE=files/etc/Compile_info.txt
OwVers=`grep RELEASE: include/toplevel.mk | cut -d "=" -f 2`
echo LEDE $OwVers `scripts/getver.sh` / `date "+%F %H:%M"` > $STATUSFILE
echo "---" >> $STATUSFILE
echo "main      "`(git show --format="%cd %h %s" --date=short | head -n 1 | 
cut -b1-60)` >> $STATUSFILE
echo "luci      "`(cd feeds/luci && git show --format="%cd %h %s" 
--date=short | head -n 1 | cut -b1-60)` >> $STATUSFILE
echo "packages  "`(cd feeds/packages && git show --format="%cd %h %s" 
--date=short | head -n 1 | cut -b1-60)` >> $STATUSFILE
echo "routing   "`(cd feeds/routing && git show --format="%cd %h %s" 
--date=short | head -n 1 | cut -b1-60)` >> $STATUSFILE


That produces the following output for files/etc/Compile_info.txt 
(/etc/Compile_info.txt in the live router):
