How can I store the git revision for use in the project?

Thanks Benjamin! I ended up doing something simpler:

task buildInfo {
    def cmd = "git rev-parse --short HEAD"
    def proc = cmd.execute()
    ext.revision = proc.text.trim()
    ext.timestamp = (int)(new Date().getTime()/1000)
}

Then I can just add this task as a dependency where needed and access the build information via the task properties.
