Does a Lazarus build include the revision of the FPC used to compile it?

In looking through the sources and the Help | About dialog in Lazarus, I noticed that the FPC revision is not include in it, and that the revision.inc file in the FPC source applies to fpcmake.

Is including the FPC revision part of the Lazarus build, and does FPC have a way of telling its revision number, if it is checked out from a Git mirror, ie using `git archive` without the metadata?

nope

nope, only version (fpc -iV), and that's what building revision.inc in the Lazarus build process does

So the revision.inc is for Lazarus only, not FPC? I need to compile Lazarus and FPC from a source only archive without the metadata, and I am creating the revision.inc for Lazarus from the commit messages. If it is not necessary for FPC then that should be fine, otherwise I will have to clone the corresponding commits for the compilation.
