Dear Holger Brunck,
In message 4EEF13D4.5020304@keymile.com you wrote:
You can insert such information when you export the files from git, say by adding a line like:
Last commit date: $Format:%H %cD$

After reading the doc I don't know how it could be used in my usecase. Please correct me if I am wrong, but this does only work in combination with the "git archive" command. And I don't want to do an archive, I want to export/copy some files out of the git tree into /tftpboot.
You could for example use the following command to copy this file into /tftpboot:
$ cd board/keymile/scripts $ git archive --format=tar HEAD README | \ ( cd /tftpboot ; tar -xpvf - )
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
