Feature Request: Backup git repo tags/versions on backup

[MallocArray]

In Mainsail's Update Manager it shows a version for each component that is installed.

When doing a backup, it would be nice if these versions could be logged to a file as part of the backup so if a restore is needed, each individual components version would be tracked so they could be restored to the same commit as when the backup was taken to help eliminate a software update issue.

Example:

klipper: v0.13.0-428-ga8cbc935
Klipper-Adaptive-Meshing-Purging: v1.1.2-13-gb0dad8ec

I'm not sure where Mainsail is getting this information as I can't find anything in git log that corresponds to the last part of the version number shown.

that to me doesnt seem like the juice is worth the squeeze. the chances of having an incompatible restore is pretty low

Fair enough. I was thinking of times like when the input shaper process changed and scanned the head while doing the vibrations. If I had just done a backup and update and then it started behaving unexpectedly, knowing what commits to bring it back to exactly how I had it at the time of the backup could be helpful.

Not necessarily looking for the script to actually restore those versions, just to make a file listing the commit hashes or something. I may play with it in the future as part of my backup process, even if not in the autocommit.sh file itself.
