What I want to record is to track the version of the scripts and this makes
sense for me. In the end the scripts are copied into /tftpboot on each
developers machine and is therefore not under git control. It is an easy
indication wether the scripts are uptodate or not, without starting a diff tool
and compare them with the latest git tree. Inside the git tree the information
is useless, I agree.

I would like to keep this, because git does not easily help here.
