+### Please describe the problem.
+
+The script producing the .info file along with the binary tarball seems to generate the wrong version.
+
+
+### What steps will reproduce the problem?
+
+ % curl https://downloads.kitenet.net/git-annex/linux/current/git-annex-standalone-amd64.tar.gz.info
+ GitAnnexDistribution {distributionUrl = "https://downloads.kitenet.net/git-annex/linux/current/git-annex-standalone-amd64.tar.gz",
+ distributionKey = Key {keyName = "2a01f853b08dc0f47392b50cda41d5f589f46413073fdf4ffd5b817d6638a502.tar.gz", keyBackendName = "SHA256E",
+ keySize = Just 27578790, keyMtime = Nothing}, distributionVersion = "5.20131222",
+ distributionReleasedate = 2013-12-30 18:56:44.908259 UTC, distributionUrgentUpgrade = Nothing}
+
+
+`distributionVersion` is 5.20131222, but `git annex version` returns 5.20131230-g4aa88d8.
+
+This may look anecdotical, but at least the `git-annex-bin` package of Arch Linux uses the .info data to retrieve the version information.
